Lightning's Tyler Motte: Good to go for Game 1
Motte (lower body) will suit up for Sunday's opening game against the Panthers, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
Motte was listed as a game-time call after missing Tampa's last three regular-season games, but he'll be good to go ahead of Sunday's playoff opener. Motte tallied six goals and nine points in 69 games this year. He'll rejoin the Lightning in a fourth-line role.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: May not play Sunday
Motte (lower body) is questionable for Sunday's tilt in Florida, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Motte missed the last three games of the regular season with the injury. He ended the season with six goals and nine points in 69 appearances. Look for Motte to play in a bottom-six role if and when he returns to action during the playoffs.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Not playing Wednesday
Motte (lower body) won't suit up for Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
Motte will miss his third straight game, though it makes sense the Lightning aren't pushing him to play in a contest that won't impact the final standings. The 29-year-old will contend for a bottom-six role in the postseason once he's cleared to return.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Not skating yet

Motte, who is considered day-to-day, is poised to miss his second straight contest. He has contributed six goals, nine points, 83 shots on net and 97 hits across 69 appearances this season. Motte's next chance to play will be Tampa Bay's regular-season finale against Toronto on Wednesday.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Labeled day-to-day
Motte (lower body) is considered day-to-day and isn't expected to play against Washington on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Motte is expected to be ready to play when the postseason kicks off but he could be sidelined for more than just Saturday's clash with Washington. Considering the 29-year-old center is mired in a 16-game goal drought, during which he's recorded just one assist, few fantasy players figure to be impacted by Motte's absence.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Exits after shot block
Motte blocked a shot and didn't return to Thursday's tilt versus the Senators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Snaps 12-game point drought
Motte picked up an assist Thursday in a 7-4 win over the Canadiens.
He snapped a month-long (12-game) point drought with the apple. Motte is a character player with speed and agility, but his scoring touch from his amateur days hasn't manifested itself in the NHL. The 29-year-old has only nine points (six goals, three assists) and 82 shots in 66 contests this year.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Two goals in last 17 games
Motte scored a shorthanded goal Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over Montreal.
Motte's goal tied the score at 3-3 midway through the third period. He beat Cayden Primeau five-hole on a breakaway after intercepting a pass from Nick Suzuki. Motte has just two points, which are both goals, in his past 17 games. He plays hard on the ice, but his value in the fantasy arena is soft.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Modest production for checker
Motte has one goal and one assist in his last five games.
Mottee has also eight hits and seven shots in that span in a bottom-six role. He's a high-energy, speedy checking forward who makes life miserable for opponents but doesn't hit the scoresheet a lot (three goals, two assists; 34 games).

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Scores goal versus Oilers
Motte scored a goal on one shot against Edmonton on Thursday.
Motte found the back of the net for the first time this season -- he's managed a mere 23 shots over that stretch. Slotting into a fourth-line role, the Michigan native will be hard-pressed to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Removed from IR
Motte (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
Motte will be available to return to the lineup Monday against Toronto after missing the past 10 contests. He had two hits and one blocked shot in 7:55 of ice time against Nashville on Oct. 10 prior to getting injured. If he plays Monday, Austin Watson could be the odd man out.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Nearing return to action
Motte (upper body) is expected to play during the Lightning's upcoming four-game road trip but won't be an option against Columbus on Thursday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
Motte appears to be making progress in his recovery after having previously been more of a long shot to play during the upcoming road trip. Even once cleared to play, Motte probably shouldn't be expected to be a consistent offensive producer considering he has never reached the 20-point threshold in his NHL career. To take Motte off injured reserve, Tampa Bay will have to make a corresponding roster move, likely sending Waltteri Merela to the minors as he is exempt from passing through waivers.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Long shot for road trip
Motte (upper body) hasn't been ruled out for the Lightning's upcoming four-game road trip but faces an uphill battle. Coach Jon Cooper told reporters Friday, "The best case scenario is he plays on the road trip but that would be the best case scenario," Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Motte appears to be trending in the right direction, though he is still working his way into game fitness. Even once given the all-clear, the 28-year-old forward is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value considering he has never reached the 20-point threshold in his eight-year NHL career.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Out indefinitely
Motte (upper body) will be sidelined indefinitely, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Motte suffered the injury during the Lightning's season opener Tuesday. The Lightning are calling it an upper-body injury, though at the time of the injury it seemed that he took a puck off his hand. Motte is a bottom-six forward when active. He had eight goals and 19 points in 62 games last season, split between the Rangers and Senators.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Lands on injured reserve
Motte (hand) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Motte was originally designated as day-to-day but it seems the 28-year-old forward is dealing with a more significant injury. At a minimum, Motte will be unavailable for the team's next two contests. In a corresponding roster move, Alex Barre-Boulet was elevated from the minors.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Is day-to-day
Motte (hand) is regarded as day-to-day, Lightning assistant coach Jeff Blashill told Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com on Wednesday.
Motte was injured during the second period of Tuesday's 5-3 victory over Nashville. He had two hits and a blocked shot in 7:55 of ice time in the contest. Tampa Bay is awaiting further information about Motte's injury, so his status might change in the coming days.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Exits season opener
Motte (hand) sustained an injury in the second period of Tuesday's season opener versus the Predators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Head coach Jon Cooper said the Lightning will know more about Motte's injury Wednesday. The forward appeared to be struck in the hand by a puck during the second period, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times. With the Lightning being off until Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Motte may have some extra time to shake off the injury. If he can't play, Austin Watson would likely take on a middle-six role.

Lightning's Tyler Motte: Signs one-year contract
Motte signed a one-year, $800,000 contract with the Lightning on Saturday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
The Lightning made the move as Josh Archibald decided he didn't want to play hockey anymore. Motte spent the 2022-23 season split between the Rangers and Senators, picking up eight goals, 11 assists and 118 hits in 62 games. He should see bottom-six minutes with the Lightning.

Rangers' Tyler Motte: Pots pair in win
Motte scored two goals on seven shots in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Lightning.
Motte provided the Rangers' third goal in the first 10:21, surprising Andrei Vasilevskiy with a shot from the boards. He beat Vasilevskiy again in the second, restoring a two-goal lead just 15 seconds after the Lightning had cut it to 3-2. The industrious winger continued peppering the net with pucks in hopes of completing the hat trick, but he ultimately had to settle for his first two-goal game since Jan. 27, 2021. After potting only three goals in 38 games with Ottawa to begin the season, Motte has racked up five goals in 20 games since being reacquired by the Rangers.
