Lightning center Ryan Craig is out indefinitely with a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament and a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee. General manager Jay Feaster said "at this point no decision has been made as to whether he will require surgery.''

It is the continuation of a terrible year for Craig, who was awarded $850,000 in arbitration but sustained a herniated disc during training camp and did not play an NHL game until Nov. 10. In seven games he had one goal, one assist, but was a valuable checker who could play on any  line.
