NHL Investigating After Lightning Forward Holmberg Hurt Arm Crashing Into Unlatched Penalty Box Door
Holmberg left the game with his left arm in a sling after crashing into an unlatched penalty-box door during Tampa Bay’s 4-2 loss, the league said.
- The NHL is investigating an injury to Tampa Bay Lightning forward Pontus Holmberg, who hurt his left arm crashing into an unlatched penalty box door during Monday night's 4-2 loss at Buffalo.
- Holmberg was injured after a clean check from Buffalo's Peyton Krebs caused him to lose balance and collide with the door as the official opened it to release Zach Benson from the penalty box.
- Lightning coach Jon Cooper questioned whether the penalty box operator should be fired, stating, "That could have hurt anybody on either team." Cooper also criticized the high number of penalties called throughout the game.
- Holmberg did not return and was spotted with his left arm in a sling, compounding injuries to captain Victor Hedman, Brandon Hagel, Scott Sabourin, and Anthony Cirelli already sidelined for the Lightning.
- An NHL spokesman offered no further comment on the incident, while Tampa Bay remains tied with 102 points atop the Atlantic Division standings despite the loss.
