D'Astous notched two assists and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals.
D'Astous eared his first multi-point effort by helping out on goals by Emil Lilleberg and Brandon Hagel. The 27-year-old D'Astous also logged a season-high 19:37 of ice time, filling the void created when Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) left the game early. D'Astous is the latest diamond in the rough uncovered by the Lightning, and he's stepped into a regular bottom-four role. The blueliner has five points, eight shots on net, 11 hits, four blocked shots, nine PIM and a plus-1 rating over his first eight NHL appearances.

D'Astous scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 win over Nashville.
It was his first NHL goal and stood as the eventual winner. D'Astous jumped into the play, took a pass from Brayden Point on a 3-on-2 and beat Juuse Saros with a wrist shot from the slot. It was the 27-year-old's third NHL game. Nice memory for D'Astous, but he's not a fantasy guy.
