Julien BriseBois announced on Wednesday that a Lightning forward will miss the beginning of the season after undergoing surgery last week.
When the Tampa Bay Lightning open their pre-season on September 22nd they will do without a key part of their roster. Left winger Nick Paul will not just miss pre-season, but also opening day on October 9 and will continue to be sidelined until November after undergoing surgery to repair an upper body injury he finished the 2024-25 season with.
