Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Guy Boucher
announced Tuesday that left wing Ryan Malone is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks
due to a lower-body injury.
Malone, who was placed on injured reserve Monday, was scratched prior to
Sunday's contest against the New York Rangers after getting hurt during
pregame warmups.
The 33-year-old had scored four goals and added an assist over Tampa Bay's
first 10 outings of the 2013 campaign and has recorded 20 goals or more in six
of his nine NHL seasons. Malone had 20 goals and 28 assists over 68 games in
2011-12.
