Jeannot was a surprise absence from Thursday's game in Montreal, with the team only announcing his absence at the start of warmups. Jeannot did not return to Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs after his fight with Ryan Reaves in the third period, which is seemingly when the injury occurred.
With Jonas Johansson sidelined due to a lower-body injury and the Lightning playing their second game in as many nights, it will be Matt Tomkins who gets the nod in Montreal on Thursday. Tomkins has made three appearances with the Lightning this season, with the most recent being a 5-3 victory on November 7th, which coincidentally was also against the Canadiens in Montreal. It is the only victory of the 29-year-old's career to date, so he will be hoping for a repeat performance on Thursday. The Lightning enter the game as -160 favourites over the Habs.
