There was news both good and bad at the Tampa Bay Lightning's morning skate Tuesday.

First, the good: Nikita Kucherov, who exited Sunday's win over the Columbus Blue Jackets after being on the receiving end of a Dalton Prout sucker punch, took full reps on the first line and power play.

Valtteri Filppula, however, didn't share in such a positive outlook. The ancillary top-nine forward, who also left versus the Blue Jackets, was not on the ice, and coach Jon Cooper told reporters afterward that there's a good chance he misses the remaining three games on the road trip.

Andrei Vasilevskiy is expected to make the start Tuesday versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, his fourth against the last-place club this season.
