Tampa Bay Lightning 

The Lightning will be without Ryan McDonagh when they face the Boston Bruins at home Friday night. 

McDonagh has been out with an upper-body injury and while the defenseman isn't ready to return Friday, the team and head coach Jon Cooper, are hopeful he will suit up Sunday against the Buffalo Sabres.

Boston Bruins

The Boston Bruins are in Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning but will be doing it without David Pastrnak and Hampus Lindholm.

Coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed Friday that both Pastrnak and Lindholm won't play as they continue to deal with injuries.

Pastrnak was injured in Boston's overtime win over the Columbus Blue Jackets Monday, while Lindholm was injured Tuesday night against the Detroit Red Wings.
