Anton Stralman provided every indication during Monday's morning workout that he'll return to the Tampa Bay Lightning lineup versus the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 2.

Stralman, out of the lineup since fracturing his fibula in late March, exited the ice with the regulars after full participation. Nikita Nesterov, meanwhile, stayed on the ice to get in work with the Lightning's expected scratches.

The top-pairing defenseman would be a massive addition for the Bolts, who have defied many expert expectations through the opening two rounds. If he's fit, he'll presumably play alongside Victor Hedman, who's providing some of his best hockey of the season at the right time.
