Status report
Walman is back in the lineup after missing six games with a lower-body injury. ...The Red Wings sent forward Zach Aston-Reese back to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League. ... Lightning coach Jon Cooper said the injury to Johansson, a goalie, isn't serious, but it may force Konin, the local emergency goalie, to serve as the backup. Konin was last in an NHL uniform Dec. 2, 2021, when the St. Louis Blues needed him to serve as emergency backup against the Lightning after Jordan Binnington entered COVID-19 protocol the day of the game.
