TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING NEWS

Victor Hedman - Exits contest Hedman (undisclosed) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens.

Impact This was Hedman's third game back from an undisclosed injury that landed him on injured reserve, but it's not clear if this issue is related. It could be, as Hedman hasn't quite looked like himself since his return. The 34-year-old defenseman's status should be updated prior to Thursday's game versus the Devils.

Curtis Douglas - Back in action Douglas (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Canadiens, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Douglas will return from a one-game absence to fill a fourth-line role. Based on his typical usage, he likely will see about five minutes of ice time while serving as an enforcer.

Jonas Johansson - Protecting net Tuesday Johansson will guard the road goal versus the Canadiens on Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Johansson will start both halves of a road back-to-back. He stopped 22 of 23 shots versus the Maple Leafs in a 2-0 loss Monday, and that light workload was likely part of the factor in the Lightning going back to Johansson a day later rather than Brandon Halverson. The Canadiens have scored just 15 goals over their last six games with a 3-3-0 record in that span.

Scott Sabourin - Set for call-up Sabourin will be recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Sabourin has logged just three games for the Lightning this season in which he tallied one goal, one assist and five shots while averaging 10:21 of ice time. With Curtis Douglas (undisclosed) and Dominic James (undisclosed) both dealing with injuries, Sabourin will serve as an emergency depth option for the team's upcoming three-game road trip.

Brayden Point - Peppers net in return to lineup Point (undisclosed) fired four shots on net and added one hit and a minus-1 rating in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact After missing the prior seven games, Point returned to the lineup Monday and slotted right back onto the top power-play unit while tying for the team lead in shots on net. It's been a rough season so far for the 29-year-old center, who has just three goals and 11 points in 22 games, but the time off may have allowed him to get re-focused in addition to getting healthy.

Jonas Johansson - No support again Monday Johansson stopped 22 of 23 shots in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Maple Leafs, with Toronto's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact With Andrei Vasilevskiy (undisclosed) landing on IR earlier in the day, Johansson made his third straight start and for the second straight outing watched the Lightning get shut out in front of him. Vasilevskiy doesn't have a timeline yet for his return, but Johansson has held down the fort well in his place, posting a 2.09 GAA and .917 save percentage in his three December starts despite getting stuck with an 0-3-0 record. Tampa Bay is back in action Tuesday in Montreal, so Brandon Halverson could be in line to make his first NHL start of the season.
