Lightning's Callahan expected to play after missing Game 2 due to illness

TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay Lightning right winger Ryan Callahan is expected to return to the lineup for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final tonight at Amalie Arena. He missed Game 2 after coming down with the flu.

“I feel good,” Callahan said following his team's optional morning skate. “Got sick. Obviously, I didn't feel well enough to play [Game 2].”

“It's unlucky. Obviously you never want to miss a playoff, and to miss it in that fashion, it's never easy. At the same time, it's out of your control. You move past it and get ready for Game 3.
