For the second straight year, Lightning forward Mikey Eyssimont will play for Team USA in the annual International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships. Eyssimont was one of nine players named to the Team USA roster Sunday morning. Last year, Eyssimont had a goal and two assists in nine games in the United States' fourth-place finish at worlds. Eyssimont, a Littleton, Colorado, native, will report to Bratislava, where the team is currently training.
Nick Jensen walked out of the arena with his family, avoiding a trip to the hospital after the Washington Capitals defenseman crashed headfirst into the boards and was stretchered off the ice Saturday. “Scary situation,” Carbery said. Capitals players after their emotional 4-2 victory to keep their playoff hopes alive still had Jensen on their minds, especially college teammate and longtime friend Nic Dowd, who fought Eyssimont in the second.
