The Tampa Bay Lightning, after earning a big win last night in Boston, may not have defenseman Jason Garrison tonight in Detroit.
The Bolts recalled d-man Slater Koekkoek from AHL Syracuse this morning -- a move that would seem to put Garrison’s status into doubt against the Red Wings.
Garrison was forced to leave the Bruins game in the second period with a lower-body injury.
#tblightning Cooper didn't have update on Garrison. Says he couldn't put weight on leg. "Didn't look good." Evaluated tomorrow.

Koekkoek has played 29 games for the Lightning this season, recording no goals and four assists.
