Marc-Andre Bergeron (back) didn't travel with his teammates to Winnipeg, where the Lightning will begin a three-game road trip on Thursday night.
He might be seeing a different doctor for another opinion on his ailing back. Bergeron will miss his 17th contest in Tampa's last 18 games on Thursday. Coach Guy Boucher wants to focus on the task at hand and doesn't want to be distracted by waiting for players to return from injury. "For me, I hear a different sound to what it is and what it's going to be every day," he said. "I've stopped listening to be honest with you. Just tell me when he's ready. That's about it. He's been missing for so long now."
