Lightning's Erik Cernak: Expected to return Tuesday

Coach Jon Cooper expects Cernak (upper body) to play Tuesday in Los Angeles, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Cernak wasn't able to suit up Saturday against the Islanders but it looks like he'll limit his absence to just one game. Barring a setback, he'll be back in a top-four role when the Lightning begin their three-game road trip through California on Tuesday.
