Status report

Each team dressed 11 forwards and seven defensemen in its last game Thursday and could do so again; the Lightning defeated the Winnipeg Jets 6-4 and the Predators lost to the Washington Capitals 4-3. Girgensons, a forward, is likely to miss his second straight game.

Nashville benched Hague for the third period Thursday after he misplayed a puck that led to Washington’s third goal and committed a tripping penalty six seconds later.
