The team has been plagued by a series of critical injuries, with one particular injury raising serious concerns.

"Head coach Jon Cooper told the media that his concern about Tanner Jeannot's leg injury is 'high... of course.'"



Tanner Jeannot, the Lightning's key acquisition at the recent trade deadline, now faces the possibility of missing the playoffs due to this worrisome leg injury.

Nashville received: defenseman Cal Foote (a first-round pick), a 2025 first-round pick (top 10 protected), a 2024 second-round pick, and 2023 third, fourth, and fifth-round picks.
