TAMPA — When the Lightning signed forward Jeff Viel to a five-year deal over the summer, they had faith that a player with just 99 NHL games would provide more physicality to a team that’s become more built for toughness.
Through four games, Viel has shown he’s not just willing to drop his gloves to defend a teammate or spark the bench, he’s tactical in the punches he throws, a student of the art of fighting.
Admittedly, he probably has to be. Listed right at 6-foot, he’s not the tallest player.
