Jakob Pelletier - Headed back down Pelletier has been re-assigned to AHL Syracuse by the Lightning, the team announced Sunday.

Impact The return of Brandon Hagel (upper body) from injury is likely what prompted this move from the Lightning, still dealing with some other injury issues to guys like Anthony Cirelli (upper body). In his lone NHL game, the first of his career, the 24-year-old played just six minutes and 12 seconds, recording one hit and one blocked shot. He'll head back to AHL Syracuse, where he's been super effective with 14 points in 13 games.

Anthony Cirelli - Remains out Sunday Cirelli (upper body) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact Cirelli will miss yet another game, his fourth in a row, while he battles an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old has 11 points (seven goals, four assists) in 14 games with a plus-6 rating this season, a valuable part of the Lightning forward group. His status will likely continue to be up in the air going into Tuesday's game against the Devils.

Victor Hedman - Unavailable Sunday Hedman (undisclosed) won't play against Vancouver on Sunday, according to Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.

Impact Hedman will miss his third straight game, but the Lightning hope to get him back for Tuesday's matchup against New Jersey. He has produced 12 assists, 23 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season.

Brandon Hagel - Taking warmups and set to play Hagel (upper body) is taking warmup and is set to return to the lineup Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact Should Hagel officially return, it would mark just a one game absence for the Lightning star winger. The 27-year-old had been one of the league's hottest scorers before his injury, registering 13 points in his last nine games. He'll jump right back into the top-six on a line with Boris Katchouk and Jake Guentzel as he attempts to keep the momentum going.

Jonas Johansson - Starting Sunday Johansson is getting the start Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Impact Andrei Vasilevskiy started Saturday, so it will be Johansson getting the second end of the back-to-back Sunday against the Canucks. The 30-year-old has a 3-1-0 record, 2.83 GAA and a .913 save percentage in five appearances this season. The Canucks come in having won just one of their last four contests, but offense hasn't been the issue; the team has scored 14 goals over that timeframe.
