NICHOLAS PAUL NEWS

Practicing Thursday Paul (undisclosed) is practicing Thursday, according to Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

Impact Paul left Tuesday's game in the second period versus the Sharks and did not return. This is a good sign for the 27-year-old center to return to the lineup Thursday versus Colorado. Paul has 16 goals and 26 points in 50 games this season but is pointless in his last five games.

Not playing Thursday Paul (upper body did not take the ice for warmups, indicating he'll miss Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Paul practiced Thursday, but it appears he'll need to sit out at least one game. The Lightning will opt to play seven defensemen with Cal Foote drawing into the lineup to cover for Paul's absence. The 27-year-old forward's next chance to play is Saturday in Dallas. Per the team, Paul is considered day-to-day.

Leaves Tuesday's contest Paul (undisclosed) left Tuesday's game versus the Sharks in the second period, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Head coach Jon Cooper had no update on Paul's status after the game. The 27-year-old has filled the third-line center spot pretty well, though he's now gone five games without a point. If he can't play Thursday versus the Avalanche, the Lightning will likely either recall a forward or use seven defensemen, with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare likely to pick up extra minutes in either situation.
