Status report<\/p>\n
The Canadiens did not hold a morning skate and are expected to have the same lineup from their 4-3 overtime victory in Game 1. \u2026 Carlile, who played 42 regular-season games for the Lightning this season, will make his Stanley Cup Playoff debut. He replaces D’Astous, a defenseman who was injured on a hit by Anderson in Game 1. \u2026 Sabourin comes into the lineup in place of Geekie. \u2026 Hedman, who hasn’t played since March 19 and took a leave of absence for personal reasons March 26, skated again Tuesday. Lightning coach Jon Cooper said the defenseman and Tampa Bay captain could return to the lineup “at some point, but not right now.” He also said he wouldn’t rule anything out but would put a return in the first round as doubtful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canadiens projected lineup Cole\u00a0Caufield — Nick Suzuki — Juraj Slafkovsky Alexandre Texier — Alex Newhook — Ivan Demidov…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-241365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
