Tampa Bay Lightning

Head coach Jon Cooper said forward Tyler Johnson will miss Saturday's season opener against the Florida Panthers with an upper-body injury. 

He skated in a regular jersey at practice on Friday but will now shift his attention to getting ready Game 2 next Thursday. 

 

New Jersey Devils

Forward Jesper Bratt will miss two to three weeks with a broken jaw after taking a puck to the face in practice this week.

"He was in the corner and there was a shot that went to the net and it hit the crossbar and inadvertently hit him," head coach John Hynes told reporters in Sweden. "He has a fracture and no surgery is needed, so that's good news. He should be able to continue his physical activity over the course of that time and he'll be back ready to go when that time comes.”

 

Washington Capitals 

Michal Kempny is on the ice Saturday for the Caps but is wearing a light blue non-contact jersey according to Isabelle Khurshudyan of The Washington Post. He has been sidelined since taking a hit from Robert Bortuzzo of the St. Louis Blues in the preseason. 

Meanwhile, Brooks Orpik is taking a maintenance day.
