MEDICAL MATTERS: AHL Norfolk G Dustin Tokarski, held out of practice for the second straight day, had two MRI exams to try and pinpoint the mysterious injury that has limited him since April. It was originally believed Tokarski had an abdominal injury, perhaps a sports hernia, but tests could not confirm. Now it is believed he might have pelvic tendinitis.

GOALIE ROTATION: With Tokarski's status uncertain, Jaroslav Janus, at least for now, is the organization's No. 3 goaltender.

As such, he will play half games in the Lightning's preseason opener tonight at St. Louis and Wednesday against the Blues in Orlando.

Janus will split time tonight with Mathie Garon and Wednesday with Dwayne Roloson. Garon and Roloson will split Friday's game at the St. Pete Times Forum against the Panthers, Boucher said.
