Lightning-Stars notes

Bryan Burns: Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper on if defensemen Zach Bogosian and Luke Schenn were unfit to play last night or if it was a coach’s decision: “It’s hard for me to answer that question. I would say it was one and one.”

Joe Smith: Cooper on the lineup decisions to add Jan Rutta and Carter Verhaeghe: “To go more in decision making we’ve been with this group for a while we felt this group could fit the pace of play we needed and they did.”

Bryan Burns: Cooper added that Rutta has been “healthy for weeks” but the team was winning and he couldn’t switch the lineup: “Because things have been going well for us, and that’s the thing, there’s situations can dictate lineups and we felt after Game 1 this was a situation where he could excel.”

Chris Johnston: After taking a hit in the first period Nikita Kucherov left the bench for a bit. He was it was because his visor was cracked.

Matthew DeFranks: Dallas Stars forward Blake Comeau left last night’s game as he was unfit to return according to Stars PR.
