Midway through the second period, I texted a friend of mine who was at Game Four and simply asked him, “How loud was the building when Sergy was introduced?”. His reply, “So loud you couldn’t hear Vasy being announced.”
So it was. In a bit of an emotional lift for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Mikhail Sergachev started Game Four against the Florida Panthers just 80 days after suffering two broken bones in his leg. The defenseman logged 17:03 of ice time, recorded one hit, two shot attempts, and set-up Brandon Hagel for the fourth Lightning goal of the game:
