Cedric Paquette News
Paquette has been in the lineup for the last eight games but he will be a healthy scratch this afternoon with Nikita Kucherov (upper-body) re-entering the lineup.
Paquette has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since October 17th, but he is very close to return to the Lightning lineup. The 24-year-old will be a game-time decision vs. Chicago and comes into tonight with one assist in six games this season.
Paquette is dealing with a lower-body injury and puts his status for tonight’s game in question. The bottom-6 forward has just one assist and two shots on goal in six games this season—stay away from him in fantasy circles.
Paquette will miss tonight’s game with an undisclosed injury, but head coach Jon Cooper said that he doesn’t “see [it] as a long term thing.” With Paquette out, Gabriel Dumont will draw into the Lightning lineup.
Paquette did not travel on the Lightning’s two-game road trip, so he won’t play Monday or Tuesday. There has been no update on the severity of Paquette’s injury, so monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s home game vs. the Maple Leafs.
Paquette suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday and is listed as day-to-day and will miss tonight’s game vs. Florida. The Lightning will also be without Tyler Johnson and Vladislav Namestnikov, so expect them to go with 11 forwards and seven defenseman.
Paquette missed Saturday’s game in Edmonton, but will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Red Wings. Paquette will centre the third line with Erik Condra and Cory Conacher on his wings. Paquette has three goals and four assists (seven points) in 30 games this season.
Paquette is expected to miss his seventh straight game with an upper-body issue. The winger was on the ice for the Lightning’s optional morning skate, but still isn’t expected to play tonight. Monitor his status heading into the weekend.
Paquette has missed the last six games with an undisclosed injury, but it looks like he could play on Wednesday. Paquette has battled injuries all season long, being limited to 10 games so far. Monitor his status on Wednesday morning.
Paquette will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury. The Lightning winger has had a hard time staying healthy this season and he is once again listed as day-to-day. Monitor Paquette’s status leading up to Saturday’s game.
Paquette has been in and out of the lineup this season due to injuries. Tonight will mark the 10th game of 20 that Paquette will have missed this year. With Paquette out, Mike Blunden will be in the lineup.
