Cizikas missed Monday's game with an illness that he picked up over the weekend. He'll be a game-time decision in the second half of a back-to-back in Florida.

Dobson skated late with the scratches during Monday's morning skate, which signifies he could come out of the lineup for the first time this season. If Dobson does sit, Sebastian Aho would make his season debut. Dobson has no points, a minus-1 rating and 11 shots on goal in his last six games.

Cizikas missed Saturday's practice due to illness and is questionable to play Monday against the Lightning. He was able to skate Sunday, which is a good sign that he'll be available, but he remains a game-time decision

Thompson played in two straight games, failing to record a point with three shots in 14:25 ATOI. Thompson will be replaced by Yegor Sharangovich, who was a healthy scratch for the past two games.

Thompson has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in seven AHL games this season. Thompson is expected to participate in the morning skate and could make his season debut on Tuesday. The 22-year-old has one assist in seven career NHL games.
