Status Report
Primeau will start for the first time since making 23 saves in a 4-1 loss at the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 22. ... Harvey-Pinard, a forward, was a participant in practice Friday, but he has not yet been cleared for contact and will miss his 10th straight game. ... Jeannot, a forward, remains day to day and will miss his ninth consecutive game. ... The Lightning are expected to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
