He is listed as day-to-day, and it will be left up to
Callahan whether he plays on Saturday.
He missed Tuesday's Game Six against the Montreal Canadiens, but
returned to practice on Thursday and practiced again Friday,
working on a line with Cedric Paquette and Jonathan Marchessault.
Callahan's ability to play Saturday is "a pain-tolerance thing,"
Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. "Ultimately it's up to Ryan
Callahan."

The Rangers will have defenseman Dan Boyle available for
Saturday's Game One against the Lightning, but left winger Mats
Zuccarello is unlikely to be ready for the series opener.
That was the injury update from Rangers coach Alain Vigneault on
Friday.
Boyle was knocked out of Wednesday's game against Washington due
to a hard hit by Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik. However, he
practiced Friday with the team, and is ready to go.
Vigneault said Zuccarello is progressing in his recovery from
what is believed to be a concussion, but he is still not skating
with the team in practice. Vigneault has not dismissed the
possibility of Zuccarello playing at some point in the series.
