The Lightning will almost be at full strength by Thursday's Game 1 of its first-round playoff series with the Red Wings.
"I don't think everyone is playing," coach Jon Cooper said. "But we'll be close."
Cooper said he expected veteran defenseman Braydon Coburn, out since Mar. 10 with a lower body injury, to play Thursday night. Defenseman Andrej Sustr (upper body) plans to play, too, along with forward Alex Killorn (undisclosed).
The only one who won't will be defenseman Jason Garrison, who got cleared for contact in Wednesday's practice - shedding the red jersey - but is still not ready to go.
