Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Not playing Thursday

McDonagh (lower body) will not play in Thursday's contest versus Vancouver, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

McDonagh will miss a third game while recovering from his lower-body injury. His participation in Saturday's contest against Dallas will be a game-time decision. The 32-year-old has averaged 22:38 of ice time and recorded 13 points over 36 games this season. Mikhail Sergachev will continue to see an expanded role until McDonagh recovers.
