Palat scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs. Palat picked up a loose puck off a turnover before firing a wrist shot past Jack Campbell to open the scoring in the first period. The 31-year-old winger has had a strong series with points in four straight contests and three goals over that span. Palat will look to keep his momentum going as the Lightning head back to Toronto for Game 7.

Palat scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Maple Leafs in Game 4. The Maple Leafs attempted to push back in the third period, but Palat's goal added an extra layer of insurance to the Lightning's lead. He's thrived with three points in the last two contests on home ice after being held off the scoresheet in Toronto. The 31-year-old winger has added six shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-1 rating in four playoff outings.

Palat scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to Toronto in Game 3. Palat got the Bolts to within one goal (3-2) early in the third period with a shot from the left circle that went through the legs of a Toronto forward and over the blocker of Jack Campbell. The points were his first this postseason

Palat collected three assists in a 6-4 win over the Islanders on Friday. Palat has five points in his last five games and 10 in his last eight. But his 49-point season pales in comparison to this 46 points in 55 games last season. Palat will look to build on the momentum of his current run as he and the Bolts take on the Maple Leafs in the postseason. But be sure to file away his relatively disappointing production and don't overestimate him for the 2022-23 season.

Palat had a goal and an assist in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Sabres. Palat took advantage of his favorable deployment on the top line alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov. That trio has been reunited for a few games now, though, and Palat entered this one with just two assists in his previous 11 games and a goal drought that dated back to Jan. 11, so don't rush to add him off waivers just yet.

If Hagel is supposed to be Palat v2, he needs Palat's smarts. Good play by Fla that McDonagh has to read earlier.
