Tampa Bay Lightning forward Cedric Paquette will not play in Tuesday's Game 6 clash versus the New York Rangers.
The 21-year-old didn't take part in warm-ups and will be replaced by Vladislav Namestnikov.
Head coach Jon Cooper said Tuesday morning that his go-to penalty killer was "questionable" to dress for the contest, which could see the Lightning advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2004.
His ailment is undisclosed, be he appeared to suffer a lower right arm injury in Game 5 after being stung by Derick Brassard's point shot.
Paquette did take the ice briefly at the morning skate, but exited early.
