Goalie Start
Domingue will start Monday in Nashville.
Paquette (lower-body) will not play on Monday.
Paquette will miss Monday’s game in Nashville with a lower-body injury that he suffered late in Saturday’s win in Philadelphia. Danick Martel will replace Paquette on the fourth line.

Stralman (upper-body) is doubtful for Monday.
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.

Goalie Start
Domingue will start Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia.
Domingue allowed three goals on 31 shots the Lightning’s win in Pittsburgh on Thursday. With Andrei Vasilevskiy out long-term, Domingue is expected to get an extended run in the Lighting crease. Even with the injury to their No.1, the Lightning should have the advantage in net this afternoon with the Flyers No.3 getting the start for them.
Goalie Start
Domingue will likely start Saturday in Philadelphia.
Vasilevskiy will miss 4-6 weeks with a left foot fracture.
Vasilevskiy was placed on IR on Thursday and sent to Tampa Bay to be re-evaluated. The original report of a fractured foot was confirmed and the Lightning’s No.1 netminder will miss at least one month. Louis Domingue is expected to take on a heavy workload until at least mid-December.

Goalie Start
Domingue will start Thursday in Pittsburgh.
Domingue allowed two goals on 19 shots in the Lightning’s 2-1 loss to the Sabres on Tuesday. With Andrei Vasilevskiy on IR, Domingue becomes the Lightning’s No.1 netminder for the foreseeable future. Domingue has a 3.43 GAA and .887 SV% in five games this season, so he’ll need to be a lot better while Vasilevskiy is sidelined.

Stralman (upper-body) is not expected to play on Thursday.
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.

The Lightning have placed Andrei Vasilevskiy on injured reserve.
Vasilevskiy is out indefinitely with an injury that he suffered in Wednesday’s practice. Vasilevskiy has returned to Tampa Bay to be re-evaluated and the Lightning should provide a detailed timetable after that. Louis Domingue is expected to start on Thursday and could see a heavy workload while Vasilevskiy is out.
The Lightning have recalled Eddie Pasquale from Syracuse (AHL).
With Andrei Vasilevskiy reportedly out for “a while” with a fractured left foot, Pasquale comes up to backup Louis Domingue. The 27-year-old has no NHL experience and is 4-2-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .896 SV%. Domingue will likely see a heavy workload while Vasilevskiy’s out, meaning Pasquale could backup for a few games and then swap out with Connor Ingram so both goalies stay fresh in the AHL.
Vasilevskiy is being evaluated for a left injury.
Vasilevskiy may have fractured his left foot according to TSN’s Darren Dreger. Although unconfirmed by the Lightning, a fractured left foot would keep Vasilevskiy sidelined for a lengthy period of time and Louis Domingue would have to step-up as the team’s No.1 netminder. The Lightning should provide an update later on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Domingue will start against the Sabres on Tuesday.
Domingue allowed three goals on 25 shots in the Lightning’s win in Ottawa on November 4th. Domingue has won three of his first four starts while posting a 3.77 GAA and .885 SV%. The Lightning have provided Domingue with 3.75 GF/PG in goal-support this far, making him a candidate for a win tonight in Buffalo.

Koekkoek is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Koekkoek has played in eight consecutive games, but will be replaced by Erik Cernak tonight. Koekkoek has one goal while averaging 14:55 TOI/GM in eight games this season.

Line Change
Cernak will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Cernak was a second round pick (No.43 overall in 2015) and nearly made the Lightning out of training camp. Cernak has picked up seven points (2G / 5A) in nine games with Syracuse (AHL) before being called up on Tuesday morning.

Goalie Start
Vasilevskiy led the Lightning onto the ice for warmups.
Assigned to Syracuse (AHL)
Hedman (upper-body) will be back in the Lightning lineup on Saturday.
Hedman has missed the last seven games with an upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup vs. the Senators. Hedman has had a slow start to the season, collecting just four points (2G / 2A) in his first nine games, but should be active in all formats tonight.

Goalie Start
Vasilevskiy likely starting Saturday vs. the Senators.
Vasilevskiy allowed two goals on 37 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Islanders on Thursday. Vasilevskiy has won three in a row while posting a 1.67 GAA and .953 SV% and is now 9-2-1 with a 1.98 GAA, .937 SV% and one shutout. He is a must-start regardless of matchup right now.
