Status report
Forwards Nikita Kucherov and Nick Paul were late scratches for the Lightning. Each are day to day. … Sanderson, a defenseman, is on the Senators’ road trip and is questionable to play after missing the past 10 games. … Hedman, a defenseman, is expected to miss at least the next two games while he is away on a personal leave.
