Lightning's Brown out with upper-body injury

J.T. Brown appears to be feeling the effects of a heavy hit from Ryan Ellis on Monday night.

After the Nashville Predators defenseman took a retaliatory hit on Brown, which resulted in a brawl, the Lightning announced that the 26-year-old is day to day with an upper-body injury, ruling him out of Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers.
