Veteran Lightning center Brian Boyle participated in Monday's optional morning skate at Madison Square Garden, which would appear to be a sign of progress.
Boyle missed Saturday's Game 1 due to an undisclosed injury, and did not practice Sunday. Boyle skated Monday, including doing sprints, before consulting with head athletic trainer Tommy Mulligan.
But coach Jon Cooper didn't give any indication that Boyle would play tonight.
"The update is there is no update," Cooper said.
Boyle was not made available to the media, an "organizational decision," according to the Lightning. That would appear to be a violation of the Stanley Cup Playoff Media Regulation, which states that, "Upon conclusion of the on-ice portion of morning skates, all players are to be physically present and available in the main dressing room no later than five (5) minutes after leaving the ice surface for a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 45 minutes, except for cases in which there are exceptional circumstances.
