The Tampa Bay Lightning are expected to have captain Victor Hedman back for their Tuesday matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs are getting closer to having David Kampf back in the lineup.
The Lightning appear set to get captain Victor Hedman back for Tuesday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets after he missed the previous two. Tampa also recalled defenseman Declan Carlile from the AHL's Syracuse Crunch on Tuesday. The 24-year-old blueliner has appeared in one game with the Lightning this season and has one goal and three points in 21 AHL games with the Crunch.
The Lightning are currently fourth in the Atlantic Division with a record of 16-10-2 and one point back of the third-place Bruins. As the team held their practice on Tuesday morning, goaltender Anthony Stolarz was not on the ice. Stolarz has not skated since exiting Thursday's win over the Anaheim Ducks with a lower-body injury after the first period. Placed on injured reserve over the weekend, Stolarz is ineligible to play Wednesday against the Dallas Stars. General manager Brad Treliving said after Wednesday's skate that Stolarz will undergo a procedure to remove a loose body within his knee and will be out four-to-six weeks. The Maple Leafs kept a loaded top line of William Nylander, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner together on Tuesday. John Tavares centered the second line with Matthew Knies and Max Pacioretty, while Bobby McMann, Max Domi and Nick Robertson remained on the third line. David Kampf, sidelined since last month on LTIR, worked as the fourth-line center between Steven Lorentz and Ryan Reaves as he appears to be nearing a return. Kampf, 29, has three assists in 18 games this season. He has been sidelined since logging 14:22 of ice time against the Minten posted two goals and four points in 11 games with the Maple Leafs after being recalled amid a rash of injuries last month. He has two goals and four points in five games with the Marlies this season. The 20-year-old made his NHL debut last season, going without a point in four games with Toronto. He was selected 38th overall by the Maple Leafs in the 2022 draft
