Lightning's Palat injured vs. Capitals, day to day

Just two days after the Tampa Bay Lightning's "Triplets" line was reunited against the Ottawa Senators, Nikita Kucherov is already the only one left standing.

Ondrej Palat left Saturday's game against the Washington Capitals due to an injury suffered in the first period and didn't return. The team announced after the game that he's day to day with a lower-body injury.

Palat was playing in just his second game since returning from a month-long absence with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old limped to the locker room and tried to return later but wasn't well enough to stay on the ice.

Linemate Tyler Johnson, who has also had an injury-riddled campaign, was not in the lineup Saturday after aggravating a previous injury.
