Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Could practice Wednesday
Kucherov (undisclosed) is still day-to-day but could practice Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
If Kucherov can get on the ice with his teammates Wednesday, it should clear the way for him to return to the lineup versus San Jose on Thursday. Still, it's a wait-and-see approach for fantasy players at this point until the Bolts provide more clarification. Jake Guentzel (undisclosed) is also dealing with an undisclosed injury, which could significantly impact the team's first-line options versus San Jose on Thursday if Kucherov is also on the shelf.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Exits practice early
Guentzel was unable to finish practice Tuesday and is being evaluated for an undisclosed injury, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Guentzel's early exit from practice may not be a significant issue considering the team doesn't play again until Thursday's matchup with San Jose, but fantasy players will want to monitor the situation nonetheless. With Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) also dealing with an injury, the Bolts could be in danger of missing two of their first-line forwards against the Sharks.

Lightning's Conor Sheary: Returned to minors
Sheary was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Sheary played in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Toronto, earning three shots on goal and one hit in 12:18 of ice time. It's unclear if Sheary's return to the minors bodes well for the availability of injured forwards Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed), Nick Paul (undisclosed) or Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) because Tampa Bay is off until Thursday versus Winnipeg.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Finds twine again
Eyssimont scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Eyssimont is quickly turning things around, scoring all three of his goals this season over the last four games. He's up to four points, 45 shots on net, 25 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances. Eyssimont figures to fill a slightly larger role while the Lightning are missing some of their regular wingers -- all of Nikita Kucherov, Nick Paul and Mitchell Chaffee were sidelined with undisclosed injuries Saturday. Outside of deep banger leagues, Eyssimont doesn't have much long-term appeal.

Lightning's Cam Atkinson: Tallies on power play in loss
Atkinson scored a power-play goal on five shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
The Lightning are down three wingers, as Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) joined Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) and Nick Paul (undisclosed) in the trainer's room Saturday. Head coach Jon Cooper had no choice but to play Atkinson, who was in the lineup for the fourth time in nine games Saturday. Atkinson has scored twice in that span, and he now has three points, 20 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 15 appearances this season. He isn't receiving enough playing time to be considered in fantasy at this time.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Joins 10-goal club
Guentzel scored a goal on six shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Guentzel contributed a goal in the third period as the Lightning made a comeback attempt. He has scored three times and added an assist over his last four contests. The 30-year-old could be leaned on even more for offense if Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) is out beyond missing Saturday's game. Guentzel is up to 10 goals, 22 points, 61 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 23 appearances this season.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Twelve points in last six games
Hagel put up two assists Saturday in a 5-3 loss to Toronto.
Hagel has recorded 12 points (two goals, 10 assist) over his past six games; he was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. Hagel sits second on the Tampa Bay scoring list with 29 points in 23 games, behind only Nikita Kucherov. His name has even been whispered as a possible 13th forward for Team Canada at the upcoming 4 Nations Cup. Yes, he's been that good.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Tough night against talented Leafs
Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in a 5-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday. He allowed four goals.
Vasy had the deck stacked against him with Auston Matthews (upper body) and Matthew Knies (upper body) both returning from injury. Adding those talented big bodies to a lineup that had won four of its past five games was a recipe for a tough, uphill battle for even the greatest goalies. It was Vasilevskiy's second straight loss, but he's still 10-8-1 with a 2.50 GAA and a .907 save percentage.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Sets franchise career assist record
Hedman had two assists in a 5-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.
Hedman set a new Tampa Bay career assist record with 590, passing Martin St. Louis (588). Hedman has four goals, 18 assists, 59 shots and 43 blocks in 23 games this season. He will eventually head to the Hall of Fame but will help carry fantasy squads until he hangs up his skates.

Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Remains out Saturday
Chaffee (undisclosed) is slated to miss Saturday's tilt against Toronto, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.
Chaffee was also absent for the Lightning's previous two games. He has five goals and nine points in 20 appearances in 2024-25. Chaffee will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting Saturday
Vasilevskiy will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Vasilevskiy received a full day off Friday, so it's no surprise he'll take the second half of a back-to-back. The Maple Leafs have averaged 2.95 goals per game, but they'll get Auston Matthews back from injury Saturday. Vasilevskiy has lost two of his last four starts, allowing 13 goals in that span.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Unavailable Saturday
Kucherov won't play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Kucherov did not take the ice for warmups, indicating that he won't be available to play. Conor Sheary was called up earlier in the day and will likely enter the lineup, though replacing Kucherov will be more of a team effort. The 31-year-old has 34 points through 22 outings this season.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Nabs helper in overtime win
Raddysh supplied an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Raddysh has gotten to play regularly in recent games, serving as a seventh defenseman during injury absences for multiple forwards. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to six points, 18 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 14 appearances. Raddysh figures to compete with Nick Perbix and Emil Lilleberg for playing time once the Lightning's roster is closer to fully healthy.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Sends shorthanded assist
Glendening produced a shorthanded assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Glendening has earned two points this season, both coming over the last three games while on the penalty kill. The 35-year-old's defensive skills are not in question, and his usage comes in tough minutes. That explains his lack offense this season, though he has chipped in 35 hits, 20 blocked shots, 14 shots on net and a minus-2 rating over 22 contests.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Second win of season
Johansson stopped 28 of 30 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Johansson returned to the Lightning crease after a three-game absence and earned his second win of the campaign following an impressive display. Johansson will continue as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup, though, and with the 30-year-old Russian set to continue to have a large workload, Johansson shouldn't be targeted in most formats as long as Vasilevskiy remains healthy and available.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Nets game-winning goal
Point scored a power-play goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Point has been on a roll in recent weeks, and he came through at a time when the Lightning needed him the most to secure the win just 1:01 into overtime. Point has found the back of the net in all but one of his eight appearances in November, tallying 10 goals in that stretch.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Scores in win over Nashville
Cirelli scored a shorthanded goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Cirelli has been on a roll of late, notching eight goals in his last eight contests, although only one of those goals has come with the man advantage. The 27-year-old playmaker remains one of the Lightning's best forwards offensively, notching 10 goals and 23 points in 22 contests in 2024-25.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Finds twine Friday
Hagel scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Hagel snapped a three-game goal-scoring drought when he found the back of the net in the second period. Even during that brief stretch without a marker, Hagel was productive offensively, supplying seven assists. Hagel has 15 points (four goals) in 12 games in November.

Lightning's Conor Sheary: Summoned from minors
Sheary was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.
Sheary played three games at the NHL level earlier in the season before landing on waivers and being sent to the minors. He has three goals and seven points in 11 AHL appearances this season. The Lightning may need an extra forward because Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) has missed the last two games.
