Lightning wing Jonathan Drouin participated in Saturday's optional morning skate, his first with the team since suffering an upper body injury Nov. 1.
And coach Jon Cooper said while Drouin will miss his fifth straight game tonight, he could play on the upcoming five-game road trip that begins Monday in Brooklyn.
"I don't have any updates now, but hopefully on the road he's going to jump in," Cooper said. "I couldn't tell you if it's the first game or the fifth game, but he's coming with us."
Drouin got hurt in the first period of a 6-1 win over the Islanders in Brooklyn, taking a hit to the head area from Islanders' Calvin De Haan.
