Status report
The Lightning held an optional morning skate. ... Guentzel (upper body) is a game-time decision, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. ... Vlasic will make his season debut. A shoulder injury prevented the defenseman from participating in training camp and he returned to practice Nov. 18. Grundstrom, a forward, was placed on injured reserve. ... Eklund took part in the morning skate but will not play. Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said the forward is close to returning.
