  • Lightning's Tanner Jeannot: Looking to return during road trip

    Jeannot (lower body) could be an option to play during the Lightning's four-game road trip after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters Monday, "Let's hope he's going to play on this trip. I suspect he will, just not sure when," per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

    Jeannot has played in just one of Tampa Bay's last 26 games due to two separate injuries, including this latest lower-body problem. The winger hasn't scored since Dec. 6 against the Penguins, a stretch of 15 games without a tally. Once given the all-clear, Jeannot should be in contention for a spot in the bottom six, likely making Mitchell Chaffee a healthy scratch.

  • Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Scoring slows after recent hot run

    Hagel picked up one assist in a 5-3 win over Florida on Saturday.

    After his 14-game scoring streak was snapped in late February, Hagel has managed just three points (one goal, two assists) and eight shots in his last six contests. Overall, he has 23 goals, 62 points and 155 shots in 67 outings this season. Hagel is just two points from equaling his career high in points (64), set last year.

  • Lightning's Nick Perbix: First point in eight games

    Perbix put up an assist Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Panthers.

    It was his first point in eight games. Perbix has just four shots and one minor penalty in that span. On a more positive note, Perbix set a new career mark in points with 21 (two goals, 19 assists) in 65 games this season. He's not valuable in a fantasy setting at this point in his young career.

  • Lightning's Calvin de Haan: Struggling to find consistency

    De Haan fired three shots Saturday in a 5-3 win over Florida.

    De Haan has just three goals and five assists in 54 games this season after tallying 12 points in 53 games with Carolina last year. He has been a healthy scratch in three of the Bolts' five games in March after a stretch in mid-February when he dressed just once in a six-game span. De Haan needs to be on the ice with greater consistency before he produces. As a result, his fantasy value is negligible.

  • Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Ten-game, 20-point streak

    Kucherov had a goal and an assist in a 5-3 win over Florida on Saturday.

    Kucherov has four goals and 16 assists during his 10-game scoring spree. The goal was his 40th of the campaign, and it's the third time in his career that he has scored at least 40 times in a single season. Kucherov is on his way to a possible 50-goal, 140-point finish, which would both be new career marks. He is among the top contenders for his second Hart Trophy, but it's a lengthy list with Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon and Auston Matthews also in the mix.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Difference maker in win

    Vasilevskiy made 47 saves Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Panthers.

    The win belongs to Vasilevskiy. The Bolts went up 4-0 by the 6:59 mark of the second period, but then the Panthers woke up and outshot the Bolts 37-3 from that moment forward. Vasy was a machine the rest of the way and is the main reason Tampa Bay got the victory. It was his third straight win and his fourth in his last five starts.

  • Lightning's Steven Stamkos: Five-game, nine-point streak

    Stamkos had two goals and two assists in a 5-3 win over Florida on Saturday.

    Stamkos has picked up three goals and six helpers during his five-games point strea. He also has provided the game-winning goal in each of the past two contests. Stamkos opened the scoring 20 seconds into the game when his pass, which was intended for Brandon Hagel on a 2-on-1, hit the skate of the Florida defender and deflected into the net. His second goal came in the second period on a two-man advantage. Stamkos has 27 goals, 60 points and 197 shots in 64 games this season.

  • Lightning's Haydn Fleury: Unavailable Saturday

    Fleury (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against the Panthers, according to Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

    Fleury is considered day-to-day after being injured in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Rangers. The Lightning recalled Emil Lilleberg from AHL Syracuse on Saturday, but Calvin de Haan might be the defender who draws into the lineup versus Florida.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: First off ice Saturday

    Vasilevskiy will patrol the visiting crease in Florida on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate. He has won his last two outings -- and three out of four -- and is starting to look like a top NHL goaltender once again. Vasilevskiy has struggled at times this season en route to a 23-16-1 record with a 2.96 GAA and an .896 save percentage. He has a tough matchup Saturday versus the first-place Panthers.

  • Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Ascends to top level

    Lilleberg was called up from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

    Lilleberg has recorded three assists in 23 appearances with the Lightning this season. He also has two goals and 13 points in 33 AHL outings this campaign. Lilleberg could play Saturday against Florida after Haydn Fleury (undisclosed) was injured Thursday versus the Rangers.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Three-game, six-point streak

    Hedman put up two assists Thursday in a 6-3 win over the Rangers.

    Hedman is on a three-game, six-point scoring streak that includes four assists. And he has 10 shots and four PIM in the same span. Hedman sits third overall in scoring from the blue line with 66 points (12 goals, 54 assists) in 64 games. This season has been a sweet rebound for the big defender, who saw his output drop last season to only 49 points.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Gets win over Rangers

    Vasilevskiy made 25 saves in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Thursday.

    Vasilevskiy has won three of his last four games, and he's 4-2-1 in his last seven starts. He's put up one shutout in that span, but he's also allowed 20 goals. And Vasilevskiy has surrendered 34 goals, including five games with at least four goals, in his last 10 starts (4-5-1). Vasy hasn't been his former self this season, but at the same time, he has also made some incredible saves, including several second-chance saves against the Rangers on Thursday. It's been a strange season for the franchise netminder.

  • Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Sixth five-point game of career

    Kucherov scored a goal and added four assists in a 6-3 win over Rangers on Thursday.

    Kucherov had a big night Thursday and so did his linemate Brayden Point, who tied a franchise record with six points. It was Kucherov's sixth five-point game, which is the most in franchise history. And he's tied with Leon Draisaitl, Brad Marchand and Sidney Crosby for fourth on the list of active players with six five-point games. Connor McDavid (11), Evgeni Malkin (8) and Nathan MacKinnon (7) sit at the top of that list. Kucherov is clearly among an NHL Murderers' Row.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Legacy night with six-point stunner

    Point scored three goals and added three assists in a 6-3 win over the Rangers on Thursday.

    It was an otherworldly game for Point, who tied Doug Crossman (three goals and three assists in 1992-93) and Nikita Kucherov (two goals and four assists in 2023-24) for the most points in a single game in franchise history. Point has put up points in 11 of his last 12 games; it includes 19 points (11 goals, eight assists). He is up to 36 goals, which thrusts him into the top 10 NHL snipers, and his 73 points put him in the top 20 overall.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Slated to face Rangers

    Vasilevskiy is set to start at home against the Rangers on Thursday, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

    Vasilevskiy is coming off a 25-save shutout victory over Philadelphia on Saturday. He's 22-16-1 with a 2.96 GAA and an .896 save percentage in 39 outings in 2023-24. The Rangers are tied for 10th offensively this year with 3.28 goals per game, so they figure to be a challenging adversary for Vasilevskiy.

  • Lightning's Tanner Jeannot: Out Thursday

    Jeannot (lower body) is expected to miss Thursday's game at home against the Rangers, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

    Jeannot has missed 23 out of the last 24 games because of his lower-body injury. The 26-year-old has been a solid depth piece for Tampa Bay when healthy, registering six goals and six assists in 42 games played. He will look to return Saturday when Tampa Bay starts a five-game road trip against the Panthers.
