Cernak (lower body) will be a game-time call for Saturday's matchup with Dallas, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cernak's status versus the Stars likely won't be confirmed until Tampa Bay takes the ice for pregame warmups. Ryan McDonagh (lower body) is also considered a game-time decision, so the Lightning could be pretty shorthanded on the back end against Dallas.
