Injury predictions:
- Kuch is back in peak form by game 2
- Stammer wrenched something core-adjacent, tries to come back and then misses rest of playoffs
- Goodrow is out until end of round 2, assuming we make it
- Hedman plays limited all playoffs, still dominates at times but not godly like last year

Vasy plays himself back into form, Lightning repeat.

Lightning’s Nikita Kucherov, Mikhail Sergachev expected to play tonight
Lightning captain Steven Stamkos was in obvious discomfort on the bench in the third period of Saturday’s Game 4, getting his right side checked by head trainer Mulligan.

But Stamkos said he’s okay. Replays showed that he collided with defenseman Victor Hedman as Hedman was trying to block a shot in the Lightning zone.

“All good,” Stamkos said. “I think it just was either a puck or I collided with someone trying to block a shot so no problems, just part of the game.”
Kucherov, Sergachev likely to play in Game 5
Barclay Goodrow was a surprise participant at Monday's morning skate. Goodrow hasn't practiced with his teammates since suffering an upper-body injury in the next-to-last game of the regular season against the Panthers.

Goodrow didn't do much while his teammates practiced. He remained at center ice and was mainly an observer. But once the majority of the team headed back to the locker room, he stayed on the ice and worked in drills with scratches Fredrik Claesson, Mitchell Stephens and Christopher Gibson, a good sign that he's making progress in his recovery.

Cooper said Goodrow won't be available for Game 5, however.
