Bjorkstrand was activated from COVID-19 protocol on Monday and will play Tuesday vs. the Lightning. Bjorkstrand has scored just three goals and one assist (four points) in his last nine games.






With Paul out, Logan Shaw and Clark Bishop have been recalled from the taxi squad and will suit up on Saturday.



Cal Foote was added to the COVID-19 protocol list this morning, so Raddysh will suit up next to Sean Day. Raddysh had two assists in 13 games with Syracuse (AHL) earlier in the season.

Point has not played since November 20th but will be back in the Lightning lineup vs. Montreal. His return should provide a huge boost to a Tampa team that is missing quite a few bodies due to COVID-19 protocol. Point is expected to centre a line with Alex Killorn and Mathieu Joseph.



Point was a full participant in Monday's practice and Lightning assistant coach Derek Lalonde said that he is in the "day-to-day category" but "might return tomorrow vs. Montreal." This would be a huge boost for the Lightning, who are missing six players due to COVID-19 protocol right now.

After placing four players in protocol on Sunday, Cirelli and Andrej Sustr were added on Monday morning. Luckily for the Lightning, Brayden Point was back on the ice for practice and may return to the lineup to replace Cirelli on Tuesday.

The Lightning are set to play four games in six days this week but lost both goalies, Mikhail Sergachev and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare to COVID-19 on Sunday and both Anthony Cirelli and Andrej Sustr on Monday. With both Elliott and Andrei Vasilevskiy out, Maxime Lagace is expected to be promoted and start on Tuesday.

Bjorkstrand joins Boone Jenner, Eric Robinson and Joonas Korpisalo, who remain in protocol and will likely be sidelined until at least the middle of next week.
