Cal Foote was added to the COVID-19 protocol list this morning, so Raddysh will suit up next to Sean Day. Raddysh had two assists in 13 games with Syracuse (AHL) earlier in the season.
Point (upper-body) will return to the Lightning lineup on Tuesday.
Point has not played since November 20th but will be back in the Lightning lineup vs. Montreal. His return should provide a huge boost to a Tampa team that is missing quite a few bodies due to COVID-19 protocol. Point is expected to centre a line with Alex Killorn and Mathieu Joseph.
Point (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Point was a full participant in Monday's practice and Lightning assistant coach Derek Lalonde said that he is in the "day-to-day category" but "might return tomorrow vs. Montreal." This would be a huge boost for the Lightning, who are missing six players due to COVID-19 protocol right now.
The Lightning placed Anthony Cirelli in COVID-19 protocol on Monday.
After placing four players in protocol on Sunday, Cirelli and Andrej Sustr were added on Monday morning. Luckily for the Lightning, Brayden Point was back on the ice for practice and may return to the lineup to replace Cirelli on Tuesday.
