Rutta (undisclosed) is not expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Kings, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Due to injuries and salary cap concerns, the Lightning are only able to dress four defensemen for the contest. The nature of Rutta's injury is unknown at this time, though the team will likely call up defensemen from the taxi squad or AHL Syracuse if no one is able to return Friday versus the Ducks.
