Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman J.J. Moser (lower body) is ready to return from a 28-game absence on Sunday against the Seattle Kraken. He hasn't played in any games since suffering a lower-body injury on Dec. 12 in a matchup against the Calgary Flames. Moser has done a decent job for the Lightning in defense, tallying 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in 27 games and blocking 39 shots. He has been practicing with Victor Hedman this week, suggesting that Moser will return to action in a top-pairing role.
Janis Moser To Miss 8-10 Weeks With A Lower-Body Injury
Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Janis Moser (lower body) is expected to miss 8-10 weeks of action. He's already been unavailable for a pair of games, and it looks like Moser will have to sit out a couple of months. The 24-year-old has enjoyed a good season among the top-four group in the Lightning defense, recording 10 points (two goals, eight assists), 28 shots, 39 hits, and 19 blocks across 27 appearances. Due to Moser's absence, Darren Raddysh has received a boost in playing time lately. He boasts similar offensive numbers, sitting on nine points (one goal, eight assists) through 21 outings, but offers much less defensively than Moser.
Arizona Coyotes defenseman J.J. Moser (upper body) is expected to return from a two-game absence in Tuesday's matchup against the Panthers. The Coyotes have been in great form lately, and Moser's comeback should be another boost for the team. The 23-year-old has played well across 33 games this season, contributing three goals and 12 assists. He's also been active in the blocks department, throwing himself in front of 55 shots from the opposition.
