The defending NHL Stanley Cup champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, are gearing up for another intense season, but they'll be facing a significant challenge without one of their key players. Henrik Andersen, a crucial member of the team's defense, will be sitting out due to an injury. Despite this setback, the Lightning are confident in their ability to repeat as champions, citing the strength of their roster and the experience they've gained from their previous title run. As the season gets underway, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the team adapts to the loss of Andersen and whether they can once again dominate the league.
