Lightning's Cedric Paquette suffers apparent lower arm injury in Game 5 win

Ed Szczepanski / USA TODAY Sports

The Tampa Bay Lightning aren't leaving New York unscathed.

Cedric Paquette returned briefly after blocking a Derick Brassard blast low on his right arm in the first period of Sunday's Game 5 win over the New York Rangers, but did not take a shift in the third.

One of the Lightning's top checking options up front, Paquette was seen in considerable pain, clutching his forearm on the bench before hurrying to the locker room.

He took four shifts in the second, and reduced the Bolts to 10 forwards in the final frame.
