Lightning’s Girardi takes slap shot to head

There was a scary moment in Detroit on Sunday night.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Dan Girardi was struck in the head by a Martin Frk one-timer in the second period against the Red Wings.

Girardi laid on the ice for several minutes and needed help getting off before going straight to the dressing room.

He was later ruled out for the rest of the game, but the Lightning said initial reports indicated he was okay

Girardi had opened the scoring earlier in the contest, and also assisted on Tyler Johnson's goal.
