Killorn (leg) told reporters he expects to resume training in 3-4 weeks and should be ready for the upcoming season, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn missed the last four games of the season after fracturing his leg but it appears he won't suffer any lingering effects heading into next year. The 31-year-old natural center failed to reach the 40-point mark this year but should be capable of doing so in a full 82-game campaign in 2021-22, making him a solid fantasy option in many formats.

Killorn (leg) had surgery last week to insert a rod to help heal a broken fibula, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Killorn was considered questionable and attempting to be ready to play shows determination, but he wasn't able to get back in the lineup after a shot block in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. It hasn't been determined one way or another if his recovery from the surgery will impact his availability for the start of next season.

Killorn (leg) will not rejoin the lineup for Game 5 versus the Canadiens on Wednesday, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn will be on the shelf for his fourth straight contest due to his lingering leg injury. While Tyler Johnson originally filled Killorn's spot on the second line, that role went to Ross Colton for Game 4. Whoever steps in for Killorn could offer decent fantasy value considering he'll be lining up next to Steven Stamkos.

According to coach Jon Cooper, Killorn (leg) could be an option for Game 5 on Wednesday, telling reporters, "A lot of it will be up to Killer and how he feels," Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn took warmups ahead of Game 4 on Monday but was unable to get into the game. Prior to getting hurt, the 31-year-old natural center had registered two goals and two helpers, including one point with the man advantage. Once cleared to play, Killorn figures to retake his place on the second line in place of Ross Colton.

Killorn (leg) is not expected to suit up for Game 4 against the Canadiens on Monday, Jean-Francois Chaumont of Le Journal de Montreal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn was on the ice for warmups prior to Monday's contest but didn't take part in line rushes. He's expected to miss his third straight contest with a leg injury. The 31-year-old forward has 17 points and 36 hits in 19 postseason games. Killorn will be questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 if the Lightning don't finish off the series Monday.

Killorn (leg) will be a game-time decision for Monday's Game 4 versus Montreal, NHL.com's Dan Rosen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn was able to participate in morning skate, but his status for Monday's contest will nonetheless boil down to a game-time decision. The 31-year-old winger has racked up eight goals and 17 points through 19 games this postseason.

Killorn (leg) will be unavailable for Game 3 against the Canadiens on Friday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn did travel with the team but the fact that he was ruled out by coach Jon Cooper before the game-day skate doesn't bode well for him being ready to play in Game 4 on Monday. With Killorn still on the shelf, Tyler Johnson figures to remain in a second-line role heading into Friday's clash.

Killorn (leg) will make the trip to Montreal for Game 3 on Friday, though coach Jon Cooper wouldn't comment on the winger's availability, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's certainly good news that Killorn will be on the trip, but fantasy players will have to wait until after Friday's game-day skate to see if Cooper provides an update on Killorn. If the 31-year-old Nova Scotia native plays, he should jump right back into his spot on the second line, which would relegate Tyler Johnson down to a bottom-six role.

Killorn (leg) will not be in the lineup for Game 2 versus the Habs on Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Killorn has racked up eight goals and nine assists, including eight power-play points, so his absence will certainly impact the Bolts' offensive options. Tyler Johnson or Blake Coleman figures to replace Killorn on the second line and with the man advantage. Coach Jon Cooper stressed that Killorn was still day-to-day, so he may still be an option for Game 3 on Friday.
