Cedric Paquette questionable, Braydon Coburn healthy for Game 6

Center Cedric Paquette is questionable for tonight's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference final, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said after today's morning skate at Amalie Arena.

Paquette held his right hand/arm as he left Sunday's first period after blocking a shot. He later returned but played only 5:43 in Game 5.

Paquette briefly participated during the optional morning skate but left the ice, apparently without Cooper noticing.

"I didn't even see it," Cooper said. "I didn't watch."

Paquette has one goal this postseason. If he can't play, Vladislav Namestnikov would be the most likely replacement at center.
