somebody will have to fill in and take his minutes. >> reporter: jon cooper's size says it all. the lightning won't be the same without jason garrison who is expected to miss three to five weeks with a lower body injury sustained monday in canada's capital. and a guy that goes under the radar but for the right reasons. we've found ways to get through injuries this year and we'll have to deny continue to do that. >> reporter: 2012 pick slater cuvu has been called up to replace him, but perhaps the solution to tampa bay's problem lies outside the organization. according to multiple reports, the ottawa senators are interested in jonathan duran. could they now have depth to spare? maybe in the form of young talent cody cici? recall steve eiderman's position. >> if it's good for the tampa bay lightning. >> reporter: the deadline is february 29th. perhaps garrison's injury will >>> late last month fsu has -- since late last month fsu has rattled off four straight victories. the seminoles battling syracuse, another bubble team tonight on espn. hey, that's not right, is it? nickel back

>>> jon cooper called the game a clunker he was not that upset saying the play improved. he's not happy with the loss but the lightning cannot afford too many back to back losses. and whether they are in the playoffs or not add right now one point separates them from being out of the post season. the game is one of those where they were clanking off the post. and three goals in the two games. this is a common theme for the lightning only on the road and if you look at the last five losses the lightning have scored less than two per game. i'm not a numbers guy but that that sounds, cooper is more concerned with the defense and the way they have been playing lately. >> it is alarming. and we're going nowhere we'll not panic. this is humbleing. >> there is no panic mode. >> before they get to port charlotte they had a training. and in april one of the players will make a debut. steve pierce is known for hitting homeruns at the trop. he hit more at that park than any other park he played in. and cory dickerson is another new face he ca imin a trade with the rockies. in a ligh

jon cooper has the team daled in. not only what they have done but -- dialled in. not only were they picking it up in the second. in control. watch the post. it is goals that will put the teams in the playoffs. 1-0. and the shot from the blue line. that's a mistake. and it is blocked. he has the break away. gets the shot. doesn't get the goal he gets the call a penalty. watch he pulls it off perfectly. look hard to see the puck is on its edge rolling. >> lightning on the way to the fourth win. jon cooper said it is good seeing him playing up to full speed. , we have no doubt in his abilities and how he plays but tough injurys. the lower body how you skate and play, nothing but heart. >> the shot ofs year but out of the ncaa tournament. inside it is blocked. 85 feet. that's not a shot i thought there was a teammate down the court. like a pass. no tra vectorry. and they lose and that could hurt them when it comes to the time and the invitation. >> he was looking at the clock and knew. >> this is crazy. >> this is the time of the year when it is interesting. >> some p

now remember four weeks ago, the bolts defense, was leaking as jon cooper called it...the team called a players only meeting....and that seemed to turn it around.......they got back to being one of the best defensive teams in the league...... that's the difference a year can make, that's how a team can change in one season....and jon cooper knows if his team makes the playoffs, it's because of his defense... alright, 3 (walter 3 and speaking of the lightning, check this out. jay feaster with the tampa bay lightning, surprised chip last night during the six o'clock show... he paid tribute to chip's long career... and honored him with a signed lightning jersey, complete with his name and lucky number hockey family... so this is special for him. of course, it comes as chipper gets ready to retire, after 28- years at fox-13... 3 tune in *tonight, for his last newscasts... we're gonna miss you buddy. it's 5:-- stay with us. 3 police swarmed the home of a 93-year old woman thursday. but it was all good: they were there to bail her out of a code enforcement issue.

several players and jon cooper are getting over the flu right now. you don't want these guys out of the lineup against winnipeg. ben bishop has been a little shaky lately. it goes without saying the lightning me this one tonight. >>> yankee spring training has begun, there is no controversy. the yankee camp is officially quiet. >> that is nice going in to spring training not to have to deal with anything. i thought the guys handled it extremely well last year, i thought alex handled it extremely well. training. i hope it does not make it a boring spring training but it is pretty regular. >>> in port charlotte the tampa bay rays have announced the signing of ryan webb. things have been anything but status quo for jamie johnson, he had a nice run today at practice. he was faster than anyone else today. so, he has the speed but it takes more than that to win the 500. >> i have seen this and i have had that had full competition without jeff gordon and his departure from these meetings i that yet. with all that said i know we will do an amazing job. but a

and as fox 13's kevin o'donnell shows us, jon cooper's team is eager to start that second half of the season, and *secure a playoff spot: 3 3 now to nascar... where legendary driver "tony stewart" is in the hospital. he was riding around in a sand buggy over the weekend, when it flipped over. he reps will only say he has a back injury... and no word on how long he will need to recover. this is going to be stewart's last nascar season... and it kicks off with the daytona 500 in less than three weeks. if he misses daytona, nascar would have to give him an injury waiver, which is what they did last year, when kyle busch broke his leg and foot. and that worked out pretty well for busch. he ripped off a bunch of wins, including the cup championship. and... a big day for college football. this is national signing day. that's when most of the big high school recruits formally pick their colleges. for some, it's just a formality, but other kids... say they're *really waiting until the last minute. and tampa bay has two high rated recruits. including tampa catholic wide reciever "nate craig-my

jon cooper then pulls goalie ben bishop and the lightning get their first goal in the third. and the bolts lose 2-1. it ends tampa bay's 9 game home winning streak. 3 the bolts are now *tied with the new york islanders for the two wildcard spots. but the pittsburgh penguins are just *one point behind. and now, to the nba... where the all star weekend just wrapped up last night. and to say this was a *high scoring game... would definitely be an undestatement. 3 the eastern conference all-stars scored *173 points. and they *lost the game! that's because the west put up 196 points... an nba all- star game record. this game is *traditionally known for it's high scoring affairs, but this one was definitely all about the offense. it was also the *final all-star game for lakers star "kobe *18 of these games. 3 and finally: more proof... that *nothing is a gimmie in professional golf. not even, when you're one of the best golfers in the world. 3 the "pebble beach pro-am" championship all came down to one putt... for phil mickelson. all he need to do was hit a putt... from seven feet away...

this is jon cooper, by the way, talking about the upcoming road trip. next week, cooper a little more optimistic. the lightning meanwhile hit the road friday for four games. they had back to back wins last week on the road. >>> the rails as we've seen during the news casts, of course, the brunt of today's worst weather was felt in the port charlotte area. rays camp only experienced heavy rain, but it was enough to cancel practice and force players to complete their workouts in the indoor batting contains. >> get your work in best you can -- cages. >> get your work in best you can. would definitely be nice to go outside. everybody looked good. i don't really think it hindered too many people. >>> and the 21st ranked usf women on the road tonight in tulsa. courtney williams, a measly 33 points for her tonight, the third time she's gone over 30 in a game this season and the bulls win a big one on the road, 72-66. they're home saturday for we're getting ready for march madness and is in a team poised to go on a run. a lot of seniors playing really well. >> 33 points she scored tonight, ma

head coach jon cooper jolted the system this morning with a fast pace practice. the players feel good after the all-star break, but will they find that urgency tomorrow? >> there's definitely not an ease in process. two teams were fighting positions with, so obviously it's going to be intense and we'll have to be ready. >> and when we all wake up tomorrow, the returns will already be rolling in. the future of your favorite college football team is at stake on national signing day. the bay area is spoiled when it comes to football talent. tomorrow we'll see dreams come true and perhaps just the beginning of something bigger. just before 11:00 wednesday morning tampa catholic wide receiver nate craig meyers will announce his college choice on national television. he is not alone. dozens of bay area players will do the same and while there are no guarantees the future of football will happen before our very eyes. yes, that's a florida gator snuggie. armwood high's matt jones give us a first on signing day in 2012. >> my mom shed a tear for me. get out of the house a

jon cooper's team jumped on the jets for three goals in four minutes to end the 1st period. look at the sloppy play by the jets. no one can find the puck. seven stamkos bangs home his -- 23rd goal of the year. then bryan little is buried, blake wheeler going after stroman. we'll stay another look at. this this is a clean looking hit, bad luck for little, be interesting to see if the league looks at this, though. the jets erase a 4-1 deficit. it happened tonight, a collapse. matthew parole scores 5-4. the game tied 5-5 and we go to a shootout. how about the fifth shooter, stamkos wins it 6-5 the final, however, the captain not entirely thrilled by this performance. >> whether you win or lose, it's your effort, your performance as a team, your structure, you know. you don't necessarily have to win to be proud of your effort tonight. just because we did win doesn't mean that everything is, you know, great because you're not going to win games consistently when you play like that. >>> all right. let's go across the state. this is duel no.-- daytona qualifying. this is duel no. 2

and ruined their streak. 3 jon cooper doesn't take losses lightly and he's having a hard time handling how the lightning lost this one.... cooper thought there was a zero chance for st.louis to be awarded a second goal tonight... but the eye the sky thought differently. namstnikov isn't a guy that normally drops the gloves... but he tries to add a spark early.... getting into it with robbi fabbri. vladi knows how to do it.... pulling the jersey over fabbri's head.... great move and his teammates like it. it doesn't do much for an offensive spark... st. louis catches the lightning off balance.... just :36 into the 2nd period... it's fabbri with the breakaway that beats bishop... 1- nothing...blues. st. louis goaltending has been a wall against the bolts... brian elliott turned away the first 37 shots....... late in the third... matt karl turns it over and patrick berglund with another break away.. he follows up his rebound.. at first they wave it off... saying he kicked it in... he did, but replay overrules and it's a 2-nothing lead... i think it's the wro aln coop goal against st. loui

jon cooper said the turn around mirrored the power play, >> you know like we're attacking more. like our shoot first mentality. and you know that attitude that no shot is a bad shot. that's good. >> kids don't follow in their father's foot steps. that's not the story in the family. the daughter is following in her father's foot steps she is part of a family tree with the roots in coaching. we have the story. >> before she ever realized it, coaching was in her blood. >> i don't think i thought about it. it never crossed my mind. >> she never had to become about it. it is who she is, more inclusive not a bad ball. >> as a player for the university of tampa from 2010 to 2014, her teammates looked to her for guidance. i was not an impact player. i didn't start i was a leader in we had an all american middle that was like giving me the scouting report. >> even from a distance her parents could hear a coach in her voice. >> i would talk to my dad and my mom would say the next day he got off the phone and said it is crazy how much of coach she sounds like. >> it's a natural, you know y
