Valtteri Filppula will watch from the sidelines after missing a team meeting earlier Wednesday.
The Tampa Bay Lightning forward was scratched for Wednesday's game versus the Montreal Canadiens after he was a no-show at a team-mandated meeting, the Lightning announced prior to puck drop.
Filppula has scored six goals and 18 assists in 34 games this season.
