Lightning's Andrej Sustr: Benched again Monday
Sustr will be a healthy scratch for Monday's game against Detroit.
Analysis:
Even though the 26-year-old has logged over 70 games for Tampa Bay each of the last three seasons, he hasn't played since opening night -- where he went minus-two and committed a minor penalty. With Mikhail Sergachev and Dan Girardi joining Tampa Bay's defensive corps for the 2017-18 season, Sustr may simply be the odd man out.
