The Tampa Bay Lightning appear to have warded off another big bite from the injury bug.
General manager Steve Yzerman indicated center Tyler Johnson could be ready for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs after suffering an upper-body injury Saturday in Montreal, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times.
The injury came at the hands of Canadiens defenseman Greg Pateryn, who will reportedly not be disciplined for what head coach Jon Cooper called an "egregious" incident.
Johnson remains day to day, with the Lightning set to practice Monday.
