Lightning's Max Crozier: Called up Friday
Crozier was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Friday.
Crozier's promotion indicates Erik Cernak (undisclosed) may not play Saturday versus the Red Wings. Crozier has produced nine points over 22 AHL contests this season. If he suits up, he'll likely fill a bottom-pairing role while Nick Perbix moves up to take extra minutes.

Lightning's Nick Perbix: Hands out helper in shootout win
Perbix notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.
The assist ended Perbix's 12-game point drought. The 26-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, though he could be elevated to a more prominent spot if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) misses time after logging just one shift Thursday. Perbix has 11 points, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-4 rating through 38 appearances this season, so he's not a particularly strong option for fantasy.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Scores in return
Point scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.
Point missed a team meeting and was scratched Tuesday versus the Bruins. It was a one-game punishment for the 28-year-old center, and he made some amends by scoring a second-period tally Thursday. The center is up to 26 goals, 48 points, 89 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 38 appearances. Point can be safely reinserted into all fantasy lineups as he pushes toward a third straight 40-plus-goal season.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Power-play goal in shootout win
Cirelli scored a power-play goal on five shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.
Cirelli tied the game at 1-1 in the first period. The 27-year-old center has three goals and one assist over his last five contests as he continues to make a larger impact than ever on offense this season. He's up to 18 goals, 19 helpers, five power-play points, 89 shots and a plus-18 rating through 42 appearances. Cirelli figures to play on the second line at even strength while seeing big minutes in all situations.

Vasilevskiy made 34 saves in a 4-3 shootout win over Anaheim on Thursday.
Vasilevskiy is 3-3-1 in seven games in 2025, and 19-13-2 with a 2.40 GAA and .913 save percentage. Impressively, he's 23-8 in shootouts (he was perfect on Thursday). Vasilevskiy continues to backstop the Bolts to a postseason position, and the Bolts have the second-lowest goals against (122) in the Atlantic and fourth-lowest in the East.

Kucherov put up two assists in a 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks on Thursday. One came on the power play.
Kucherov riding a seven-game, 11-point streak that includes eight assists (three power-play assists). He now needs two assists to reach 600 in his career, which he's managed in 766 games. Kucherov sits in a two-way tie with Leon Draisaitl for second in NHL scoring with 65 points.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Major milestone in win
Hedman put up an assist Thursday in a 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.
It was a big night for the big defender. Hedman is the fourth defenseman from Sweden to reach 600 NHL assists, joining Nicklas Lidstrom (878), Erik Karlsson (656) and Borje Salming (637). It was his 1,093rd career NHL game, and he became the first Bolt to reach 600 assists and the 19th defenseman in NHL history to reach the mark.

Guentzel scored in regulation and had the only successful attempt in the shootout in a 4-3 win over the Ducks on Thursday.
Guentzel gave the Bolts a 2-1 lead on the power play in the second period when he pounded in a rebound from the net front. It was his first goal in six games. Guentzel has 22 goals, 21 assists and 110 shots in 42 games on the season, and is on pace for another point-per-game season.

Lightning's Erik Cernak: Sustains undisclosed injury
Cernak (undisclosed) exited Thursday's game versus the Ducks and won't return, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Cernak lasted just one shift into the contest before his departure. The Lightning have just six healthy defensemen on the roster, so if Cernak can't suit up Saturday versus the Red Wings, a roster move will likely be necessary.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Facing Anaheim
Vasilevskiy will guard the home goal versus the Ducks on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Vasilevksiy will look to rebound from losing his last two outings, allowing a total of seven goals on 48 shots against the Devils and Bruins. The 30-year-old netminder has been fantastic at home this season, going 13-5-1 with a 2.06 GAA and a .929 save percentage over 19 starts in Amalie Arena.

Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Available for Thursday's matchup
McDonagh (face) will be available for Thursday's game against the Ducks, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
McDonagh exited Tuesday's game against the Bruins after taking a puck to the face, but he won't be forced to miss additional time due to the issue. Over eight appearances this month, he's logged four assists, 15 blocked shots, four hits and two PIM while averaging 20:15 of ice time.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Retakes first-line role
Point (coach's decision) was back in his customary first-line role ahead of Thursday's matchup with Anaheim, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Point was held out of Tuesday's clash with the Bruins after missing a team meeting, but it appears he is back in head coach Jon Cooper's good graces. The 28-year-old center is on pace to reach the 90-point threshold for the third straight season and could set a new career-best mark in power-play points after having already racked up 12 goals and eight helpers with the man advantage.

Lightning's Jack Finley: Sent back to minors
Finley was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.
Finley was called up by the Lightning on Tuesday, and he made his NHL debut during Tampa Bay's 6-2 loss to Boston. He recorded a hit, a shot on goal and a plus-1 rating in 8:25 of ice time but will head back to the minors a day later, which signals that Brayden Point (coach's decision) will likely return following a one-game absence.

Lightning's Conor Geekie: Ends goal drought after scratch
Geekie scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Bruins.
Geekie entered Tuesday on a 12-game goal drought that also saw him get scratched versus the Penguins on Sunday. The 20-year-old returned to a spot on the third line in this contest instead of the second-line role he had been occupying. Geekie was able to end the slump with his sixth goal of the season. The rookie has 12 points, 47 shots on net, 70 hits and a plus-2 rating through 40 appearances. He'll need to keep his performance at an acceptable level -- if he doesn't, more scratches could be on the way.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Four-game, five-point streak
Hedman scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-2 loss to the Bruins on Tuesday.
He's on a four-game scoring streak that includes five points (two goals, three assists). Hedman has seven goals and 34 points in 40 games in 2024-25, and he is rounding into 60-point form.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Rough night in blue paint
Vasilevskiy made 18 saves Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to Boston.
He allowed four goals -- the most he's allowed in a game since Nov. 30 -- but it was a rough night for Vasilevskiy overall. His season numbers (2.38 GAA and .913 save percentage) are great production for a netminder that has sometimes dipped in the third quarter of the season. Vasilevskiy will bounce back.

Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Injured in Tuesday's contest
McDonagh took a puck to the face and didn't finish Tuesday's game versus the Bruins, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
McDonagh ended up with 14:38 of ice time prior to his exit. The 35-year-old's status was not updated after the contest. If McDonagh can't play Thursday against the Ducks, the Lightning will likely need to make a roster move for a defenseman.
