McDonagh will miss his sixth straight game on Monday but took part in the morning skate, which is a good sign that he'll be back at some point this week. Cal Foote will remain in the lineup until McDonagh is back.
Perbix was a sixth-round pick in 2017 and signed his entry-level contract with the Lightning following his fourth year at St. Cloud State. The 23-year-old defenseman had 31 points (6G / 25A) in 31 games with St. Cloud State and had one assist in four games with Team USA at the Olympics.
Brown has played in three straight games but will be replaced by MacKenzie MacEachern in the lineup on Monday. Brown has picked up seven points (3G / 4A) in 25 games with the Blues this season.
McDonagh suffered an injury in Boston on Thursday and will not be available Saturday in Detroit. McDonagh is expected to miss some time.
Paul is a strong two-way forward, who will help the Lightning third line but won't provide a lot of offence. Paul has scored 11 goals and seven assists (18 points) in 59 games this season. Look for him to start on a line with Ross Colton and Brandon Hagel.
Hagel was not on the ice for the morning skate but will make his Lightning debut on Saturday, one day after being acquired from Chicago. Hagel, who has 21 goals and 16 assists (37 points) in 55 games, will start on a line with Ross Colton and Mathieu Joseph.
Paul is the Senators' biggest trade chip as we near Monday's trade deadline, so he will sit out of Friday's game vs. the Flyers.
