Status report
The Lightning held an optional morning skate. … Lilleberg skated in a red noncontact jersey and wore a cage Tuesday; the defenseman continues to progress after sustaining a facial fracture during practice on March 4. … Tolvanen, a forward, will be a game-time decision, according to Kraken coach Lane Lambert; if Tolvanen cannot play, Gaudreau will take his spot on the second line, and Melanson will skate on the fourth line after being a healthy scratch the past two games.
