Erik Cernak will return from his two-game suspension Tuesday vs. Florida.

Cernak missed the Lightnings' last two games as he served his suspension for an elbow to Buffalo's Kyle Okposo but will return to the lineup Tuesday. The 25-year-old bruising defenseman has a goal, 10 assists, 57 SOG, and 42 PIMs across 51 games played prior to his suspension.

Cernak (undisclosed) is expected to play on Tuesday.

Cernak left Saturday's game in Nashville with an undisclosed injury and did not return. However, Cernak was on the ice for Monday's practice and is expected to play Tuesday vs. the Senators. Cernak is goalless in his last 11 games, registering three assists, 12 shots, 35 hits and 16 blocked shots.

Cernak (lower-body) has been downgraded to week-to-week and is not expected to be back until after Christmas.

The Lightning initially called Cernak day-to-day but was downgraded on Friday afternoon. Don't expect to see Cernak back until after the Christmas break. Zach Bogosian should continue to skate in the top-4 while Cernak is out.
