Top Lightning News

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Lands on IR

    Point (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday and is expected to miss time, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    While the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline for Point, the fact that he was placed on injured reserve doesn't bode well for a short-term absence. It is a significant blow for the 30-year-old center, who was on pace to reach the 80-point threshold for the fifth time in his career after racking up 16 points through 17 contests to start the year. Conor Geekie and Zemgus Girgensons could both be in contention for additional minutes with Point on the shelf.

  • Lightning's Sam O'Reilly: Called up from minors

    O'Reilly was promoted from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

    O'Reilly, who was selected by the club with the 32nd overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, has notched two goals and two assists in 12 games for the Crunch this year. With Brayden Point (undisclosed) landing on injured reserve, the 20-year-old O'Reilly could be in line to make his NHL debut versus the Sabres on Wednesday.

  • Lightning's Erik Cernak: Adds pair of assists

    Cernak notched two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Cernak has opened November with five helpers and a plus-5 rating over four contests. That's a rare spike on offense for the 29-year-old defenseman, who is best known for his shutdown play. He's at seven assists, 20 shots on net, 30 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 16 appearances in 2026-27.

  • Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Deposits goal in Sunday's loss

    Hagel scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Hagel had been held to one assist over his previous four contests, a rare quiet stretch for the consistent winger. The 28-year-old is up to nine goals, nine helpers, 65 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 17 outings this season. Hagel has point-per-game potential in the Lightning's top six, and his role is fairly safe even when his offense dips.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Allows four goals in road loss

    Vasilevskiy stopped 21 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Vasilevskiy surrendered three goals through the opening 49 minutes before Tampa Bay mounted a dramatic third-period comeback. However, Mark Scheifele beat him on a last-second power-play goal with just 1.6 seconds remaining, handing the Lightning their first regulation defeat in seven games. The veteran finished with an .840 save percentage, but his established workload and Tampa Bay's competitive roster keep his fantasy outlook strong. He has a 2.85 GAA through 13 starts while sporting an 8-4-1 record, but his .883 save percentage is cause for concern, as that's the lowest mark of his career by a wide margin.

  • Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Scores twice in third-period comeback

    Holmberg scored two goals on four shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Holmberg nearly completed an improbable comeback, scoring twice in a 26-second span late in the third period to erase Winnipeg's remaining two-goal advantage. Both tallies came from close range as he capitalized on rebounds near the crease. The two-goal performance was encouraging, but his supporting offensive role and limited scoring history make him a speculative fantasy option outside deeper leagues. Holmberg has six goals on the season, but he's also taken just 31 shots across 17 appearances, so he isn't delivering consistent value on a per-game basis in terms of his offensive involvement.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Won't return to Sunday's game

    Point has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Jets due to an undisclosed injury, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Point exited Sunday's matchup late in the first period, and the team ruled him out for the remainder of the game during the third period. Prior to his departure, he was held scoreless with two shots in 5:35 of ice time. The exact nature and severity of his injury remain to be seen, and it isn't yet clear whether he'll be available for Wednesday's game against the Sabres.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: In net Sunday

    Vasilevskiy will start Sunday's road matchup against Winnipeg, per Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.

    Vasilevskiy will get the second half of Tampa Bay's back-to-back after Dennis Hildeby played in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota. The 32-year-old Vasilevskiy has posted an 8-3-1 record, a 2.75 GAA and an .887 save percentage in 12 appearances this season. Winnipeg (6-8-3) ranks 26th in the league during the 2026-27 campaign with 2.65 goals per game.

  • Lightning's Yanni Gourde: Activated off injured reserve

    The Lightning activated Gourde (hip) off injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Winnipeg, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Gourde missed over a month to begin the regular season due to his hip injury, but the Lightning were hopeful that he'd be able to return at some point during the team's current four-game road trip. After missing Saturday's road game against Minnesota, Gourde has been cleared to make his regular-season debut in the second half of the back-to-back set. Across 82 regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay last year, he recorded nine goals, 19 assists, 115 hits, 66 PIM and 31 blocked shots while averaging 16:22 of ice time.

  • Lightning's John Carlson: Contributes pair of helpers

    Carlson logged two power-play assists in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

    This was his third multi-point effort of the season. He's earned three goals and three assists over his last eight outings. For the year, the 36-year-old defenseman is up to 10 points (three on the power play), 38 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 12 hits across 16 appearances.

  • Lightning's Dennis Hildeby: Gets third win this season

    Hildeby made 19 saves in a 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota on Saturday.

    It was a rough start for Hildeby and the Bolts -- they surrendered two goals in a 2:03 span in the first three minutes of the game, and had to dig their way out of that hole. Hildeby buckled down and gave the team what it needed to get back into the contest, and he walked away with the win. He doesn't get a lot of playing time, but the big man has shown flashes when he does. He's 3-0-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .880 save percentage. Hildeby is essentially delivering league average results (2.99 GAA, .890 save percentage), which is a fantastic result for a second-string netminder.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Seven-game, 10-point streak

    Point picked up two assists Saturday in a 4-3 overtime win over the Wild.

    Point tied Hall-of-Fame winger Martin St. Louis (2018) as the third-fastest Lightning player to reach 700 career points. After a slow start this season, Point has taken off offensively with 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in his last 10 games, and he's on a seven-game, 10-point streak (four goals, six assists).

  • Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Gets game winner in overtime

    Kucherov delivered a goal and assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota.

    His goal stood as the winner. Kucherov tied Martin St. Louis for the third-most OT goals in franchise history with 10, behind Steven Stamkos (13) and Brayden Point (12). With a potential trade in the future, he may not move up that list.

  • Lightning's Charle-Edouard D'Astous: First three-point game in NHL

    D'Astous scored a goal and added two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over the Wild on Saturday.

    It was D'Astous' first career three-point game. The goal, which came on a 6-on-4 power play late in the third period, tied the game and forced overtime. He also had a power-play assist. D'Astous has five points, including four assists, in his last four games. A goal and two helpers have come with the man advantage. As much as Victor Hedman wants back on the power play, D'Astous is forcing the Bolts to keep him and not the big man on the man advantage. Overall, D'Astous has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 15 games this season.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Big three-point outburst in OT win

    Guentzel had two goals and an assist in a 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota on Saturday. He fired seven shots.

    One goal and the assist came on the power play. Guentzel has four points (two goals, two assists) in his last two games, and he has picked up at least one point in six of his last seven games (six goals, three assists; 26 shots). Overall, Guentzel has 18 points including 10 snipes, in 16 games this season and is on pace for his first 50-goal campaign. Of course, a possible trade of line mate Nikita Kucherov would almost certainly slow his pace, but Guentzel's production isn't simply tied to his star line mates.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Lightning's Ethan Czata: Four points in OHL win

    Czata scored three goals and added an assist in OHL Guelph's 10-6 win over North Bay on Saturday.

    Czata was one of the Storm's offensive leaders in a high-scoring contest. He's up to nine goals and 10 assists across 16 appearances this year. The Lightning prospect hasn't finished above a point-per-game pace in his junior career yet, so it's unclear if he will sustain his early success over the rest of 2026-27.
