Lightning's Braydon Coburn dealt with illness in Game 5; sat out latter periods

The Tampa Bay Lightning were reduced to the customary six-man rotation on defense in their Game 5 triumph over the New York Rangers after Braydon Coburn left a mess on the team's bench.

Head coach Jon Cooper suggested that Coburn was physically ill following the first period, which prevented the veteran defenseman from seeing action in the second and third.

"Don't walk by our bench," Cooper warned.

He took eight shifts in the opening frame and did not return to the bench until the third.

Or, until the mess was cleaned up. Presumably.
