However, McDonagh will not be missing more time from here. According to the Tampa Bay Times' Eduardo A. Encina, McDonagh will be in the lineup for the Bolts on Thursday night against the Anaheim Ducks.

This is big news for the Lightning, as McDonagh is one of their top blueliners. It would have been rough for Tampa Bay if the left-shot blueliner had to be sidelined, but we now know he is good to go.
