Lightning's Cedric Paquette: Still in non-contact jersey

Paquette (lower body) took part in practice Monday, albeit in a non-contact jersey, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

While getting on the ice with his teammates is certainly a step in the right direction, Paquette's status for Tuesday's outing against Arizona should probably be considered questionable at best considering he has not been cleared for contact. Barring a significant improvement in the center's status, the Lightning will likely need to recall a player from AHL Syracuse to fill out the roster.
