Status report
The Lightning held an optional morning skate. … Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper confirmed there will be no changes, marking the third consecutive game the Lightning will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. … Seguin took part in the Stars morning skate but is still “a ways off from playing”, according to coach Pete DeBoer; the center has been out since Dec. 1. ... DeSmith will start; he has won each of his past six games dating back to Jan. 25.
