Lomberg (personal) is at morning practice Thursday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Lomberg missed the last two games awaiting the birth of his third child as the Flames were on the road. Lomberg snapped a 12-game pointless streak in his last game, picking up an assist in a 4-3 loss to St. Louis on Dec. 5. Overall, the feisty forward has three helpers in 27 games with the Flames this season. Look for Lomberg to see fourth-line duty versus Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Flames' Ryan Lomberg: Still unavailable Tuesday
Rotowire
Lomberg (personal) will not be in the lineup versus the Predators on Tuesday.
Lomberg is currently mired in a season-long goal drought, having failed to find the back of the net in 27 games this year while adding just three helpers. The 30-year-old winger has reached the 20-point mark just once in his career and probably shouldn't be expected to produce at that level this year either.

Panthers' Ryan Lomberg: Ruled out against Bolts
Rotowire
Lomberg is under the weather and will be sidelined versus Tampa Bay for Game 2 on Tuesday, Steve Goldstein of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Lomberg is pointless in 14 straight contests, so his absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on fantasy players. With Lomberg unavailable, Steven Lorentz will come back into the lineup after having been a healthy scratch for the Cats' previous two contests.

Panthers' Ryan Lomberg: Scores goal against Rangers
Rotowire
Lomberg scored a goal on two shots in a 4-2 win over the Rangers on Monday.
Lomberg was able to bring his seven-game goal drought to an end with his tally Monday. During that slump, the 29-year-old winger registered a meager two shots, so it wasn't very surprising that he wasn't getting pucks over the goalline. Given his limited offensive upside, Lomberg shouldn't be expected to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Panthers' Ryan Lomberg: Supplies rare helper
Rotowire
Lomberg added an assist in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Avalanche.
Only four Panthers forwards failed to record a point in this high-scoring affair, and even Lomberg, who has just two goals and an assist through 39 games, joined in on the fun. Still, he's more of a utility winger who has mixed it up with 62 hits in a bottom-six role.
Lomberg scored a goal, levied two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.
Lomberg's two markers this season have come over the last five games. The 28-year-old winger remains a fourth-line fixture for the Panthers, but he's been more physical pop than scoring threat. He's added 26 hits, 20 shots on net and a plus-4 rating, so his fantasy value is low even in formats that reward his toughness.

Lomberg found the back of the net just 2:19 into the game to put Florida on the board first. It was his first goal and point in 11 outings this year. Lomberg is serving in a fourth-line role, so his offensive contributions are likely to be few and far between.

Panthers' Ryan Lomberg: Nets first goal of playoffs
Rotowire
Lomberg found the back of the net in a 4-3 victory over Carolina in Game 4 on Wednesday.
Lomberg, who was playing in his eighth game of the 2023 playoffs, provided his first goal and first point of the postseason. The marker came midway through the second period to put the Panthers up 3-2. Lomberg is serving primarily in a fourth-line role and logged just 9:58 of ice time Wednesday, so he shouldn't be counted on to make regular offensive contributions.
