Coach Jon Cooper said Sunday that Eyssimont (lower body) could be ready for the start of the season, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Eyssimont has been dealing with a lower-body injury for several weeks, but he is close to full strength after shedding his non-contact jersey at Friday’s practice. The 28-year-old will fill a bottom-six role with the Lightning when he’s ready to go.
