Stralman has not played since November 8th and will miss at least the next three or four games. Erik Cernak has played well in Stralman’s absence, so there’s no need to rush the veteran defenseman back in the first half of the season.

Stralman will miss his sixth straight game with an upper-body injury, which means Erik Cernak will remain on the Lightning blueline.

Stralman has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury and is likely to miss his fifth consecutive game on Monday. The Lightning have four games this week, so there will be plenty of opportunities for Stralman to re-enter the lineup.

Stralman is expected to miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury, but is getting closer to a return. Erik Cernak will likely remain in the Lightning lineup with Stralman out.

Stralman has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but was back on the ice this morning and will likely play in Columbus. Stralman has just 11 points (4G / 7A) in 35 games but is leading the NHL in plus/minus at plus-24.

Stralman was a late scratch from Thursday’s game vs. the Canadiens and likely won’t play tonight either. Stralman is “more likely” to play vs. the Blue Jackets on Sunday according to Jon Cooper.


Tyutin has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but it looks like he will be back in tonight in Boston. There’s no word on who he will replace, but Tyson Barrie missed the morning skate with an illness, so it could be Barrie, Cody Goloubef or Eric Gelinas.


Stralman left Saturday’s game vs. the Sharks with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Stralman will not play in the Lightning’s first game of a five-game road-trip and head coach Jon Cooper would not commit to Stralman playing on the trip, and added that he will likely miss the first three games.

Tyutin has missed the last four games with a groin injury but will play in Chicago on Thursday. Tyutin has record two assists in his first four games with the Avalanche.

Tyutin will miss Saturday’s game in Florida because of a groin injury. Tyutin will be replaced by Eric Gelinas, who will be making his season debut. Consider Tyutin day-to-day.

Tyutin, 32, has had some strong offensive years during his 12-year career, but he is coming off of his worst season, having recorded just three points (1G / 2A) in 61 games with the Blue Jackets. He was bought out by Columbus, but brings a lot of experience to a relatively young Avalanche blueline.






Stralman missed Tuesday’s game with an illness, but could be back in the lineup on Friday. He is listed as a game-time decision, so monitor his status when the Lightning hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Stralman was a late scratch on Tuesday when he did not come out for warmups. There is no word on what is ailing the veteran defenseman, but consider him day-to-day until more details are released. He will be replaced by Luke Witkowski, who was recalled from Syracuse (AHL) earlier today.
