Ross Colton Stats

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ross Colton (upper body) will be back from a one-game absence Friday versus St. Louis. The 28-year-old has managed to have a decent season in limited playing time, collecting nine points in 18 outings despite averaging only 11:27 of ice time. He has found it tough to crack the top six, but Colton has been a regular on the power play and it's helped him to generate some momentum offensively. In that sense, he returns in a great matchup, because the Blues have the third-worst penalty kill in the league.
