Status report
Neither team will hold a morning skate Sunday. … Carrier was reunited with Matheson at practice on Saturday. They were a defense pair last season but have not played together this season. Carrier practiced with Hutson on Friday. … Guhle moved from the right side with Matheson on Friday to the left side with Hutson, who moved from left to right. … Lightning coach Jon Cooper said he’s hopeful James will play. He has been out since Feb. 28 with a lower-body injury. … Cooper said Hedman, a defenseman, is with the team, but he’s “not available right now.” … Geekie, a forward, and Halverson, a goalie, were recalled from Syracuse of the American Hockey League on Sunday.
