Cory Murphy's season likely over

MARCH 18, 2009

As if the Lightning's battered defense needs more bad news, Cory Murphy is expected to be sidelined three to four weeks with a broken right foot, the team said. Given where we're at in the season, Murphy may not play again.

The power-play specialist was hurt in Tuesday's shootout loss to the Maple Leafs when hit by a Vinny Lecavalier slapshot.
