Status report
The Lightning held an optional morning skate. … DeAngelo, a defenseman, is sick and will be a game-time decision, but Islanders coach Patrick Roy said it’s unlikely he plays. Boqvist will play if DeAngelo is unable. … Pageau, a center, skated in a noncontact jersey. He has been week to week since last playing Nov. 22.
