Lightning's Alex Barre-Boulet: Finds scoresheet in loss
Barre-Boulet scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.
Barre-Boulet scored Tampa's lone goal in the first period Thursday, one-timing a feed from Brandon Hagel to give the Lightning an early 1-0 lead. The goal is Barre-Boulet's first point since Nov. 7 -- the 26-year-old forward had been scoreless in his last nine games while serving as a healthy scratch in five contests. While Barre-Boulet can offer some scoring upside in the Lightning's top-six, it's hard to rely on consistent production at this point. He has five goals and eight points through 21 games this season.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Falls to Predators
Johansson allowed four goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.
It was a tough night for Johansson, who's now allowed nine goals on 65 shots through three appearances since Andrei Vasilevskiy returned from injury. The 28-year-old Johansson is now 8-6-5 with an .891 save percentage and 3.47 GAA this season. With Vasilevskiy healthy, it's hard to see Johansson earning enough playing time to warrant fantasy consideration.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Facing Predators
Johansson will protect the road goal Thursday versus the Predators, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Johansson was on the bench for the last two games, during which Andrei Vasilevskiy gave up a total of one goal. Johansson will make his second start and third appearance since Vasilevskiy's season debut. The Predators have won four of their last six games, but they've scored just 15 goals in that span, so this is a solid matchup for Johansson to try to keep the Lightning's momentum up.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Flashes two-way game in win
Cirelli delivered a power-play goal and a season-high four blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Cirelli stayed hot following his two-goal performance from Monday's 4-0 win over the Stars. Still, despite managing a No. 2 power-play role, Cirelli has just two points in that key special teams spot. Fantasy managers are likely underwhelmed by his current output of 12 points (six goals, six assists) through 26 games, but the pivot may be turning the corner offensively without losing a step in the defensive zone.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Another two-point game
Kucherov logged a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Both of Kucherov's points came on the power play, setting up Anthony Cirelli's tally in the first period before one-timing a Victor Hedman feed to extend Tampa's lead to 2-0 in the second. Kucherov now has points in 11 straight games -- he's recorded six goals and 15 assists in that span. It's been another stellar campaign for the 30-year-old winger. Kucherov leads the league with 44 points and is second in the NHL with 17 goals through his first 26 games this season.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Dials up two man-advantage helpers
Hedman registered two power-play assists in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Hedman, who played his 1,000th NHL game Monday in a 4-0 win over the Stars, is in vintage form with five goals, 22 assists and 11 power-play points through 27 games. His 49-point campaign from 2022-23 actually qualified as a down year by his standards, but he's found his stride by averaging a point per game to this point.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Sharp again in win
Vasilevskiy stopped 24 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.
Vasilevskiy was a minute away from a second straight shutout before turning the puck over behind the net, setting up a Jake Guentzel goal with just 53 seconds left in the third period. Still, it's another encouraging outing from Vasilevskiy, who looks to be getting his legs under him after starting the season 1-3-0 with an .859 save percentage. Jonas Johansson will likely get the start Thursday in the second half of a back-to-back, lining up Vasilevskiy for a road matchup with the Kraken on Saturday.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to face Penguins
Vasilevskiy is slated to start at home against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.
Vasilevskiy might have been rusty when he returned from back surgery judging by his terrible 3.87 GAA and .859 save percentage over his first four contests. However, he was terrific in his last start Monday, saving 25 shots en route to a 4-0 shutout victory over Dallas. Vasilevskiy will attempt to build off that strong start against Pittsburgh, which ranks 19th offensively this year with 3.04 goals per game.

Lightning's Luke Glendening: Scores fourth goal of 2023-24
Glendening supplied a goal in a 4-0 win over Dallas on Monday.
Glendening's marker came early in the third period to extend the Lightning's edge to 3-0. It was his fourth goal and point in 26 games this season. The 34-year-old is playing primarily on the fourth line and is not expected to make regular offensive contributions in 2023-24.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Nets two goals Monday
Cirelli had two goals in a 4-0 win over Dallas on Monday.
Cirelli enjoyed his first multi-goal game and his second multi-point outing of the 2023-24 campaign. He's up to five markers and 11 points in 25 appearances this year. Cirelli's offense has trickled in throughout the season with his longest scoring streak being a three-game stretch from Oct. 14-17. Since then, he's failed to factor on the scoresheet in even back-to-back contests.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Point streak hits 10 games
Kucherov had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over Dallas on Monday.
Kucherov just can't be stopped. He's recorded at least a point in 10 straight games, supplying an outstanding five goals and 19 points over that stretch. The 30-year-old was great even before his recent hot streak and now has 16 markers and 42 points through 25 appearances this campaign. He finished 2022-23 with 113 points, and this will likely go down as a similarly dominant year for the superstar forward.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Posts 25-save shutout
Vasilevskiy stopped all 25 Stars shots in a 4-0 shutout victory over Dallas on Monday.
Vasilevskiy hadn't looked great since returning from back surgery, posting a 1-3-0 record, 3.87 GAA and .859 save percentage over four outings, so his strong performance Monday is especially encouraging. It's made all the better because the shutout comes against a strong offense in Dallas -- the Stars rank seventh this year with 3.39 goals per game and had managed six goals on 25 shots versus the 29-year-old goaltender Saturday. Tampa Bay has a home contest against Pittsburgh on Wednesday followed by a road game in Nashville on Thursday, so Vasilevskiy will likely start in one of those two matches with an eye toward building off Monday's showing.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Guarding cage Monday
Vasilevskiy will guard the cage at home versus Dallas on Monday, per NHL.com.
Vasilevskiy is still trying to shake off the rust after posting a 1-3-0 record and 3.87 GAA in his four games since returning from injury. Head coach Jon Cooper continues to support the 29-year-old netminder to eventually return to form as a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Even with the slow start, Vasilevskiy should continue to see the majority of the playing time between the pipes for the Lightning.
