Lightning's Dan Girardi: Struggles with increased role

Girardi finished the 2018-19 playoffs with no points, four PIM and a minus-2 rating in four games.

Girardi's game has slowed. And with Victor Hedman and Anton Stralman out with injuries, he was forced into a bigger role than perhaps he could handle. Especially with the aggressive forecheck of the Blue Jackets. Girardi is a free agent this offseason and he will need to take a financial haircut to stay with the Bolts. Even if he does, Girardi isn't a fantasy option.
