Lightning's Dominic James: Undergoes surgery
James (leg) will be sidelined for 8-10 weeks after undergoing surgery, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports Thursday.
James will miss the remainder of the regular season and could be sidelined through more than one playoff series, assuming the Lightning go that far. As a rookie, the 23-year-old winger put up seven goals, eight assists and 56 shots in 43 contests while averaging 12:14 of ice time.

Lightning's Dominic James: Shifts to injured reserve
James (leg) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
The move to put James on IR freed up a roster spot for the Bolts to add Conor Geekie in a corresponding move. Already ruled out for the next two games, the 23-year-old James should probably be expected to miss the entire four-game road trip now that he is on injured reserve.

Lightning's Dominic James: Set to miss next two games
James (leg) will be unavailable for Tampa Bay's next two contests, though it could be longer, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Monday.
James was finding his offensive game prior to getting hurt, generating three goals and one assist in his last seven outings. With Gage Goncalves (undisclosed) also on the shelf, the Lightning will need to either call up a forward from the minors or roll with seven defensemen heading into the next two games.

Lightning's Dominic James: Sustains apparent leg injury
James (leg) left Saturday's game versus the Sabres, and there was no update on his status following the contest, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports. He scored his seventh goal of the season prior to the injury.
Per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times, James was hurt late in the third period and couldn't put weight on his right leg after a collision with Michael Kesselring. This could be the type of injury that costs James time, which may force the Lightning to make roster moves to get more center depth. More information should be available prior to Tuesday's game versus the Wild.

Lightning's Dominic James: Tickles twine in loss
James scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.
James has three goals and three helpers over his last 11 outings. The 23-year-old has been an effective and versatile forward for the Lightning as a rookie this season, moving around the lineup as necessary. He's at six goals, eight assists, 55 shots on net, 56 hits and a plus-4 rating through 42 appearances. James' ice time will likely drop once Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed) is ready to return.

Lightning's Dominic James: Pots goal in win
James scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
James scored at 14:58 of the first period to give the Lightning a 1-0 lead. The 23-year-old continues to make a name for himself as a rookie, earning four points over his last six games. For the season, he has filled a versatile role, picking up five goals, seven assists, 43 shots on net, 51 hits and a plus-2 rating over 37 appearances.

Lightning's Dominic James: Collects two points
James scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Stars.
James snapped a five-game skid with the effort. Despite the burst of offense, he still saw just 11:14 of ice time. James has been decent on the ice in a depth role, earning four goals, 10 points, 30 shots on net, 47 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 32 appearances. He won't be a factor in most fantasy formats unless he can claim a top-six role or power-play time on a regular basis.

Lightning's Dominic James: First goal in nine games
James scored a goal in a 7-3 win over the Sharks on Saturday.
It was the rookie's first goal in nine games. James' ice time dropped on Tampa Bay's three-game road trip. He centers the fourth line, and given the league-wide depth at that position, his fantasy value is limited at this time. He has three goals, five assists, 36 hits and 26 shots through 26 games this season.

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 Dominic James: Ready to rock
James (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against the Islanders on Saturday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Following a three-game absence, James will replace Curtis Douglas in Saturday's lineup. The 23-year-old James has two goals, five points, 20 shots on net and 28 hits across 19 appearances this season.

Lightning's Dominic James: Nearing return
James (undisclosed) fully participated in Friday's practice, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
It remains to be seen if James will be in the lineup Saturday versus the Islanders, but at a minimum, he seems very close to returning. The 23-year-old has two goals and five points in 19 appearances this season. James should serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's ready.

Lightning's Dominic James: Still out Thursday
James (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's game versus the Devils, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
James is out of the lineup for a third straight game. The Lightning have not provided an update on his status, but they haven't made a roster move regarding James either, which suggests he's still considered day-to-day. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Islanders.

Lightning's Dominic James: Unavailable Tuesday
James (undisclosed) won't play against Montreal on Tuesday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
James will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has provided two goals, three assists, 20 shots on net and 28 hits through 19 outings this campaign.

Lightning's Dominic James: Won't play Monday
James (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto, Lightning radio announcer Dave Mishkin reports.
James suffered an undisclosed injury during Saturday's loss to the Islanders, and he'll be forced to miss at least one game due to the issue. Jack Finley will remain in the lineup for Monday's matchup, while James' next opportunity to return will be Tuesday in Montreal. However, James wasn't on the ice for Monday's morning skate, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out the second half of the back-to-back set.

Lightning's Dominic James: Sustains undisclosed injury
James suffered an undisclosed injury during Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Islanders. There was no update on his status after the game, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
James had one shot and one hit in 13:06 of ice time in the loss. He now has two goals and five points through 19 appearances this season. Curtis Douglas (undisclosed) was also injured Saturday, so Tampa Bay might need to promote a couple of forwards from the minors before Monday's game in Toronto.

Lightning's Dominic James: Pretty goal in loss
James scored a goal in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday.
James curled out from below the goal line and wired a wrist shot at a sharp angle that went in off Ilya Sorokin's glove. It was the rookie's first goal in nine games and first point in eight. James has played in 17 games this season, averaging 12:28 with three goals, three assists, 18 shots and 27 shots in a fourth-line role.

Lightning's Dominic James: Taken off injured reserve
James (face) was activated off IR ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Devils, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Where James fits into the lineup against the Devils on Tuesday will likely depend on the availability of Anthony Cirelli (upper body) and Nick Paul (upper body), who have both been working with the team at practice. In his last two games prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old James was finding his offensive stride with one goal and three assists.

Lightning's Dominic James: Placed on injured reserve
James (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
James was classified as slightly worse than day-to-day by head coach Jon Cooper, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the team moved him to IR, especially with the need to bring some players up from the minors. While the 23-year-old Michigan native could be activated for Sunday's matchup with the Canucks, it seems unlikely, considering the Bolts will be in the second half of a back-to-back and James may not get any practice time.

Lightning's Dominic James: Contending with injury
James is dealing with an undisclosed injury, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site on Tuesday.
Head coach Jon Cooper said Tuesday that James is "not quite day-to-day yet," so it's unlikely the 23-year-old will be available for Wednesday's home matchup versus the Rangers. The Lightning are dealing with several injuries up front, and Cooper said that it's likely there will be a few players recalled from AHL Syracuse ahead of Wednesday's game.

Lightning's Dominic James: Earns first three NHL points
James scored a goal, added two assists, logged three hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.
James didn't have a point over his first seven NHL games, but the 23-year-old made up for it in his eighth appearance. He set up a Gage Goncalves tally for his first career assist early in the second period before scoring his first goal just a few minutes later. James added a helper on a Brandon Hagel goal -- the eventual game-winner -- in the third period. Through eight contests, he's added 12 shots on net, 18 hits, four PIM and a plus-1 rating while becoming a regular in the Lightning's bottom six.
