Lightning's Cedric Paquette: Ruled out of next two contests
Paquette (lower body) won't be available for Tampa Bay's next two games, but he's been encouraged by the progress he's made in his rehab, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis:
Paquette hasn't played since March 9 against Minnesota, but his positive outlook suggests he may be ready to return to action as soon as Monday against the Blackhawks. His impending return to the lineup will bolster the Lightning's depth up front, but his meager offensive output -- 10 points in 58 games this season -- keeps him off the fantasy radar in most formats.
