Tampa Bay Lightning forward Alex Killorn isn't suiting up for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night.

Head coach Jon Cooper said earlier Wednesday that Killorn was doubtful to play, according to The Associated Press' Stephen Whyno.

Killorn blocked a shot in Game 1 and missed the next three contests despite being a game-time decision for Game 4.

The 31-year-old has recorded eight goals and nine assists in 19 games this postseason.

Mathieu Joseph has been inserted into the lineup in Killorn's absence, registering a pair of assists in three tilts.
