Fortunately for the team led by Jon Cooper, the severity of his injury does not seem too serious. It is strongly hoped that he will be able to make a return to play before the start of the season, as he is considered one of the best goaltenders in the NHL for many seasons.
Selected 19th overall in 2012, the Russian quickly established himself as a crucial element to Lightning's success. In nine seasons in the NHL, the 6'4" goaltender has compiled a record of 263 wins, 123 losses, and 28 overtime losses, all while recording a .918 save percentage and a 2.52 goals-against average.
