Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Nabs helper in win
Girgensons logged an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Girgensons snapped a 12-game point drought when he helped out on Pontus Holmberg's goal 21 seconds into the game. With the helper, Girgensons is at seven points in 29 outings this season, surpassing the six-point regular season he had in 2024-25. This year, he's added 41 shots on net, 84 hits, 20 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating as a regular in the Lightning's bottom six.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Finds twine in win
Holmberg scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Holmberg has trended up lately with three goals and an assist over his last seven games. The 26-year-old is still in a bottom-six role, which makes any productive stretch tough to sustain. He's at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 29 hits and a plus-7 rating through 29 outings overall, putting him on pace to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his four-year career.

Lightning's Oliver Bjorkstrand: Scores again Monday
Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Bjorkstrand has four goals and three assists over his last seven contests. He's played his way into the top six over that stretch, which has also seen him earn a larger share of power-play minutes. The 30-year-old winger is at six goals, 16 points, 59 shots on net, 33 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 36 appearances. He is unlikely to match his career-best 59-point season from 2023-24, but a big second half should be enough to get him over the 40-point mark again.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Nets 10th goal of season
Cirelli scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Cirelli's second-period tally answered the Blues' lone goal from Justin Faulk. The goal ended a nearly month-long slump for Cirelli, who was limited to three assists over 13 contests between tallies. The center is up to 10 goals, 20 points, 59 shots on net, 20 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 32 appearances this season.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Shines on power play in win
Kucherov notched two power-play assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
The three-time Art Ross Trophy winner helped set up tallies by Darren Raddysh in the first period and Oliver Bjorkstrand in the third. Kucherov has delivered four multi-point performances in the last six games, and he's up to 45 points (13 goals, 32 assists) in 32 contests, putting him seventh in this season's scoring race headed into the Christmas break.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Two PP helpers Monday
Guentzel collected two power-play assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
The veteran winger had a hand in tallies by Darren Raddysh in the first period and Oliver Bjorkstrand in the third. Guentzel has three multi-point performances in the last six games, and since the beginning of November, he's delivered an impressive 13 goals and 28 points in 25 contests.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Erupts for three points Monday
Raddysh scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added two assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
The 29-year-old blueliner reached 100 regular-season points in his career in the process, as he continues surging toward a career-best campaign. Since Victor Hedman (elbow) was placed back on IR, Raddysh has racked up three goals and seven points in six games, and on the season, he's already set a new personal best with eight goals, and he's tied his career high with nine power-play points (four goals, five helpers).

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Sharp in 13th win
Vasilevskiy stopped 23 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.
Justin Faulk got a puck past him early in the second period, but otherwise Vasilevskiy wasn't too troubled as he cruised to his 13th win of the season. In three starts since returning from an undisclosed injury, the perennial Vezina contender has gone 2-1-0 while allowing seven goals on 66 shots.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Slated to start against Blues
Vasilevskiy is expected to get the starting nod at home versus St. Louis on Monday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Vasilevskiy will be making his third straight appearance in the crease following his seven-game stint on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. The veteran backstop is 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 42 shots over his last two games and will come up against a Blues squad that is scoring just 2.54 goals per game, third-worst in the NHL this year.

Lightning's Jakob Pelletier: Returned to minors
Pelletier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.
Pelletier was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 6-4 win over Carolina because Nikita Kucherov (illness) returned to the lineup from a one-game absence. The 24-year-old Pelletier has compiled 15 goals and 31 points in 24 AHL appearances this season.

Lightning's Jack Finley: Scores in return from loan
Finley scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Finley spent a week in the AHL on a conditioning loan, and he scored upon his return to the lineup. The 23-year-old has mainly filled a fourth-line role when in action this season, and he's not a full-time option for the Lightning. He's produced two goals, one assist, 10 shots on net, 19 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 12 appearances. Finley could have a chance to play more regularly while Brandon Hagel (upper body) is out, but Curtis Douglas and Jakob Pelletier are also in the mix for minutes.

Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Tucks in goal in win
Goncalves scored a goal in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
Goncalves had been a healthy scratch for four games recently, and this was his second contest back in the lineup. The 24-year-old is stuck in a bottom-six role, so he shouldn't be expected to score a lot. He's up to three goals, eight points, 22 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 31 appearances this season.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Buckles down in victory
Vasilevskiy made 18 saves Saturday in a 6-4 win over Carolina.
He allowed three goals by the 12:27 mark of the first period, and then he buckled down and watched as the Hurricanes' three-goal lead evaporated. Vasilevskiy is 9-3-0 in his last 12 starts and 1-1-0 since returning to the lineup from injury. He should see plenty of action now that he's healthy again.

Lightning's Dominic James: Two assists in win
James picked up two assists in a 6-4 win over Carolina on Saturday.
James has seven points, including five assists, in 22 games this season. He also has 31 hits. James is a sixth-round pick playing in his first NHL season. It's a nice story for the 23-year-old, but he's not fantasy-worthy at this point.

Lightning's Charle-Edouard D'Astous: Two apples keep doctor away
D'Astous picked up two assists in a 6-4 win over Carolina on Saturday.
D'Astous has been skating alongside Ryan McDonagh on the second pairing, and he has 11 points, including eight assists, in 28 games this season. D'Astous won't contribute much in secondary categories, but he's having a great season as an undrafted 27-year-old who made his NHL debut this campaign.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Eight points in last six games
Point scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 win over Carolina.
He put the Bolts up 3-2 early in the second period when he redirected a pass into an open net behind Pyotr Kochetkov. Point has eight points (three goals, five assists) over his past six games. His 9.5 shooting percentage remains abysmal relative to his 18.4 career average, so expect a goal run soon enough. Point has really started to warm up -- he had 11 points in his first 22 games prior to this run. The window to get him in trade is closing.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Among all-time elite
Kucherov (illness) picked up an assist Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
With the point, Kucherov recorded his fourth calendar year with at least 110 regular-season points. That tied Jari Kurri and Peter Stastny for the second-highest total by a player born outside North America. Leon Draisaitl and Jaromir Jagr both have five.

Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Goal scorer's goal for defender
McDonagh had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Hurricanes.
McDonagh made a nifty move early in the third period, breaking through two defenders and slipping the puck between Pyotr Kochetkov's pads to make it 4-4. It was a goal scorer's goal. The points are McDonagh's first after missing five weeks due to injury. He's going to eat a lot of ice time with Victor Hedman (elbow) out until February, so scoop him off the wire.
