  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Gets goal in international debut

    Guentzel scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in a 6-1 USA win over Finland at the 4 Nations Face-Off in Montreal.

    Guentzel's goal came in the third, 11 seconds after Matthew Tkachuk had pushed the USA up 3-1 on the power play. He scored on the rush from the left circle off a pass from Auston Matthews. The two goals in 11 seconds tied an NHL international tourney record (1991 Canada Cup) for the fastest consecutive goals scored by the same team. Guentzel, 30, is the only player on Team USA with no international experience, but his speed, pace and sniping are excellent complements to a strong USA squad.

  • Lightning's Isaac Howard: Leads NCAA in scoring

    Howard has posted an NCAA-leading 43 points in 30 games with Michigan State this season.

    Howard has recorded more goals this season (22) than he had in his previous two collegiate campaigns combined. Selected by the Lightning with the 31st overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, the 20-year-old winger may not be back with the Spartans next year, as he figures to be in the mix to join AHL Syracuse or perhaps even make the NHL roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Lightning's Brandon Halverson: Dropped to AHL

    Halverson was returned to AHL Syracuse on Monday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    Halverson has been the backup goalie behind Andrei Vasilevskiy in the last four games. If Jonas Johansson (lower body) remains unavailable after the 4 Nations Face-Off, Halverson could rejoin the Lightning. The 28-year-old Halverson has a 12-7-7 record with a 2.20 GAA and a .918 save percentage in 26 AHL appearances this season.

  • Lightning's Dylan Duke: Shipped down to minors

    Duke was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.

    With the Lightning off until Feb. 23 versus the Kraken for the 4 Nations Face-Off, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see Duke headed down to the minors during the break. In his two NHL games this year, the 21-year-old center notched one goal on one shot and five hits while averaging 7:52 of ice time. Duke is far from a lock to be recalled ahead of the matchup with Seattle and likely will play the bulk of his games in the minors this year.

  • Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Assigned to AHL

    Goncalves was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    Goncalves has one goal, seven points, 30 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 25 hits in 33 NHL outings this season. He has three assists over a three-game point streak and five helpers in his last six appearances. Goncalves will likely be back with the Lightning after the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

  • Lightning's Cam Atkinson: Gets on scoresheet with assist

    Atkinson notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Atkinson continues to be a part-time player for the Lightning. This helper ended a seven-game slump, a span in which he was scratched three times. For the season, the 35-year-old winger has seven points, 38 shots on net and a minus-4 rating while mainly seeing bottom-six minutes. Atkinson could struggle to reach the 15-point mark this season after being limited to 28 points over 70 outings in 2023-24.

  • Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Picks up assist in win

    Eyssimont notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Eyssimont ended a six-game point drought when he helped out on Zemgus Girgensons' goal in the second period. The 28-year-old Eyssimont was a scratch for a couple of games recently, and he's unlikely to see anything more than middle-six minutes since he hasn't been very consistent on offense this season. He's at eight points, 88 shots on net, 74 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 51 appearances in 2024-25.

  • Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Keeps rolling Sunday

    Goncalves notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Nikita Kucherov (upper body) was a last-minute scratch, and Goncalves moved over to right wing on the top line. Goncalves made good on head coach Jon Cooper's trust, picking up his fifth assist in the last six games when he set up a Victor Hedman tally in the first period. Goncalves spent a couple of weeks with AHL Syracuse in January, and it appears to have benefited his performance. He could be assigned to play with the minor-league team during the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it's likely Goncalves will be with the big club for most of the rest of the campaign. He has seven points, 30 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-3 rating over 33 appearances.

  • Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Supplies two helpers Sunday

    Hagel produced two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Hagel had a hand in the opening and closing tallies Sunday, setting up Nick Paul's first-period goal and adding a secondary assist on Anthony Cirelli's empty-netter. This was Hagel's third multi-point effort in his last six games, a span in which he has six goals, five assists and a plus-12 rating. The winger is up to a stellar 62 points (seven on the power play, six shorthanded), 159 shots on net, 43 hits, 42 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-24 rating over 55 appearances. His career high in points is 75 from the 2023-24 regular season, and it's very much in reach. He'll have to put his NHL success on pause for a couple of weeks, but Hagel will be active for Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Dishes pair of assists in win

    Guentzel notched two assists, including one on the power play, fired three shots on goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Guentzel had gone five games without a helper before setting up tallies by Brayden Point and Anthony Cirelli in this contest. The 30-year-old Guentzel has gotten the job done both with scoring and playmaking this season while being a key part of the Lightning's top six. He's up to 27 goals, 27 helpers, 19 power-play points, 145 shots on net and a plus-8 rating over 54 outings.

  • Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Ends lengthy slump

    Girgensons scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Girgensons snapped a 33-game point drought with his second-period tally, which was the game-winner. During that brutal dry spell, he had 38 shots on net, 72 hits and a minus-4 rating. Girgensons' physicality has kept him in the lineup as a bottom-six forward. He's on pace for a career-worst year -- he has three points, 59 shots on net, 106 hits, 32 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating across 55 appearances.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Goals in consecutive contests

    Paul scored a goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Paul opened the scoring at 6:56 of the first period on a feed from Brandon Hagel. The 29-year-old Paul has goals in back-to-back outings after snapping a six-game slump. He's enjoyed a productive campaign with 30 points (16 goals, 14 helpers), 91 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-5 rating through 49 appearances in a middle-six role.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Strikes on power play Sunday

    Point scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Point has scored in three straight contests and has five points in that span. This was his first power-play tally since Jan. 9. The 28-year-old center is up to 31 goals, 58 points (23 with the man advantage), 129 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 50 appearances. His next action will be for Team Canada at the 4 Nations Face-Off.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Matches career high in goals

    Cirelli scored an empty-net goal, added an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Cirelli has four points over his last five outings. His empty-netter was his 20th goal of the season, matching his career-best total from 2023-24. The 27-year-old center is now at 42 points, 109 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating across 53 appearances. This is the fourth season he's reached the 40-point mark, but the Lightning have 27 games left on the schedule for him to build on what's likely to be a career year for the Ontario native.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Goal, assist in Sunday's win

    Hedman scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and blocked six shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Hedman tallied midway through the first period and assisted on Brayden Point's tally in the second. The goal was Hedman's first since Jan. 14, and he was limited to eight assists over the 12 contests in between tallies. The 34-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in just two of his last eight outings, but both instances were multi-point performances. Hedman is still having an excellent season overall with eight goals, 36 helpers, 125 shots on net, 92 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 53 appearances.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Yields three goals in win

    Vasilevskiy stopped 32 of 35 shots in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

    Vasilevskiy wasn't at his best, but he came away with his fifth win in six outings. He's allowed 13 goals in that span, which includes one shutout win. The 30-year-old netminder is up to 25-15-3 with a 2.32 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 43 starts this season. He's had no fewer than 30 wins in any of the last seven campaigns and should get to that mark again, with an outside chance at the 40-win mark. His ratios in 2024-25 are his best since 2021-22. The Lightning's next game is Feb. 23 at home versus the low-scoring Kraken.

  • Lightning's J.J. Moser: Activated from IR

    Moser (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

    Moser missed 27 straight games due to the injury and was among Tampa Bay's scratches for Sunday's road game versus Montreal. He could be an option to play after the 4 Nations Face-Off against Seattle on Feb. 23. Moser has two goals, eight assists, 28 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and 19 hits in 27 appearances this season.

  • Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Late scratch Sunday

    Kucherov (upper body) won't play against Montreal on Sunday, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

    After participating in pregame warmups, Kucherov was a late scratch for Sunday's matchup. He had three assists in Saturday's 6-3 win over Detroit and is day-to-day ahead of the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Kucherov has amassed 25 goals, 82 points and 179 shots on net through 52 games this season. Cam Atkinson will replace Kucherov in Sunday's lineup.
