Lightning's Darren Raddysh: First-ever playoff goal
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto on Saturday in Game 3.
He drove down the right side and Matthew Knies failed to stay with him, instead choosing to bail and go back toward the point as Raddysh went hard around the net. The Leafs coverage broke down, leaving Raddysh free as he wrapped around the net, and he wired a hard shot past Ilya Samsonov. It was his first playoff goal.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Gets first NHL goal
Rotowire
Raddysh scored his first NHL goal in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Rangers.
Raddysh got a lot of help from the stick of Rangers defenseman Braden Schneider in front, but a goal's a goal. His marker was originally credited to Brandon Hagel, but further review determined that Schneider accidentally tipped the puck in without Hagel touching it. Raddysh is on a roll, as his first NHL points came in Tampa Bay's previous game, when the 27-year-old blueliner had two assists against the Islanders in his 16th NHL appearance.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Elevated from minors
Rotowire
Raddysh was called up from AHL Syracuse on Thursday.
Raddysh's promotion to the main roster could be an indication that there's an injury on the blue line, though it's also possible the team doesn't expect Mikey Eyssimont to join it for Thursday's matchup with Pittsburgh. Regardless, Raddysh will be hard-pressed to break into the lineup and will offer minimal fantasy value even if he does play.

Rotowire
Raddysh will make his NHL debut against Florida on Thursday, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports, meaning he will be added to the active roster before puck drop.

Once the Bolts get fully fit on the blue line, the defenseman figures to find himself back in the minors but should be on the list of potential call-ups through the 2021-22 campaign.
