The Tampa Bay Lightning will welcome back another player to their active roster as Cedric Paquette is set to make his return to the ice tonight against the Nashville Predators.
Paquette has been dealing with a lower-body injury and has not played since December 20th against the Detroit Red Wings. He has three goals and seven points in 31 games this season.
In other news, Brian Boyle will not play for a second straight game after suffering a lower-body injury during Saturday's game. There is still no news on when he will return. In addition, Jon Cooper mentioned that Ben Bishop is currently right on schedule. The Bolts' bench boss is hopeful the netminder will return when the team travels to California in mid-January.
Andrei Vasilevsky will once again make the start in net for Tampa Bay as he looks to have a better performance after struggling on Tuesday against the Jets.
