Morrow is expected to serve as a healthy scratch Tuesday against the Islanders, Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Morrow's banishment to the press box is likely borne out of a desire by coach Jon Cooper to give the veteran checking liner some rest for the second game of a back-to-back. After sitting out Monday, J.T. Brown is expected to draw back in for Morrow, who has two assists and no goals in 19 games this season.
