Status report
McAvoy is a game-time decision due to a non-COVID illness. … Boston recalled Ahcan and Steen, a forward, from Providence of the American Hockey League on Saturday. Ahcan could make his season debut if McAvoy is out. … Kucherov participated in the morning skate, but the forward is still "quite a ways off from returning," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. ... Joseph participated in morning skate, but is not expected to play for the third straight game.
