Cedric Paquette (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against the Islanders.

Paquette (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against the Islanders, Erik Erlendsson of The Tampa Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Paquette told reporters Saturday that he's feeling better, but he still hasn't taken contact in practice, something that will need to happen before he'll have an opportunity to draw back into Tampa Bay's lineup. The 22-year-old forward is hoping to return to action at some point during the Lightning's upcoming three-game road trip, which starts Wednesday in Anaheim against the Ducks. If he's unable to go Wednesday, Paquette's next opportunity to draw back into Tampa Bay's lineup won't come until next Saturday against the Sharks.
