Lightning's J.J. Moser: Gets fifth goal of season
Moser scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins.
Moser was J.J. on the spot at the crease when Arturs Silovs dropped a puck in the crease, and he stuffed it under the netminder. The defenseman has 15 points, including five goals, and a remarkable plus-37 rating in 43 contests this season. Moser has gone on a few multi-game point streaks this season. No guarantees this time, but we won't rule it out either.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Wins eighth straight game
Vasilevskiy made 26 saves Tuesday in a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins.
Both teams played well defensively, and the game could have gone either way. Vasilevskiy made several sharp saves to extend his personal winning streak to eight games. That matches John Gibson and Scott Wedgewood for the second-longest this season. Brandon Bussi has the longest winning streak this season (nine).

Lightning's Brayden Point: Deemed week-to-week
Point (lower body) is week-to-week, per Lightning play-by-by announcer Dave Randorf on Tuesday.
Point sustained the injury in Monday's 5-1 win over Philadelphia. While it isn't a season-ending issue, he will likely be out for a while, and it remains unclear if it will impact his availability for the 2026 Winter Olympics in February. Point has amassed 11 goals, 30 points and 82 shots on net through 37 appearances this season.

Lightning's Erik Cernak: Earns first helper since return
Cernak logged an assist, five blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
The helper was Cernak's first point in six games since he returned from a long-term hand injury. The 28-year-old defenseman has resumed a second-pairing role and will continue to provide steady physical play when in the lineup. For the season, Cernak has five helpers, 15 shots on net, 25 PIM, 54 hits and 54 blocked shots over 25 outings.

Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Scores early in win
Holmberg scored a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over the Flyers.
Holmberg opened the scoring 1:10 into the game. He has four goals and two assists over his last 10 outings, though he remains in a bottom-six role that is likely to keep his offense modest overall. The 26-year-old forward is up to seven goals, 14 points, 49 shots on net, 38 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 37 appearances, putting him on track to reach the 20-point mark for the first time in his career.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Ninth season with at least 20 goals
Guentzel had a goal and an assist in a 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Monday.
The goal was his 20th of the season, and the ninth time in 10 seasons where he's hit that snipe mark. Guentzel also has eight points (two goals, six assists) during a five-game point streak. He's one of several Lightning players, including Nikita Kucherov, Brandon Hagel and Darren Raddysh, on streaks. The team itself is on a 10-game win streak. Rack 'em and stack 'em.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Six-game, 10-point streak
Hagel had a goal and an assist in a 5-1 victory over the Flyers on Monday.
Hagel has 10 points (four goals, six assists) during a six-game point streak. His goal streak stands at four games and four goals. Hagel's game has sizzle --he ripped a power-play goal from the left circle through traffic and over Dan Vladar's glove. It was his third power-play snipe of the season. That's three more than last season when he ripped 35 goals (three shorthanded). Hagel is on pace for more than 40 goals this season.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Six-game, 12-point streak
Raddysh had two assists Monday in a 5-1 win over the Flyers.
Raddysh has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) during a six-game point streak. He has now moved into the better-than-point-per-game territory with 39, including 12 goals, in 38 games. Both numbers are career marks. We don't think Raddysh will ever recreate this magic in another season, but he's fantasy gold right now.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Ripping up record book
Kucherov had a goal and an assist for his ninth straight multi-point game in a 5-1 win over Philadelphia on Monday.
There aren't enough superlatives to describe this guy. Kucherov has 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) during a 10-game point streak. His nine straight multi-point games put him in a tie with Steven Stamkos (2021-22) for the longest among active players. Kucherov is a fantasy cornerstone.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Third straight win
Johansson made 20 saves in a 5-1 win over the Flyers on Monday.
Well, well, well -- look at this. Johansson has won three straight games, allowing eight goals (.895 save percentage) in that span. He's a goalie who can get the Lightning wins, but he struggles to keep his counting stats to the league average. At the same time, Johansson isn't a fantasy liability, so you can get him in your blue paint when you know he's the starter.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Injured in Philadelphia
Point (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game in Philadelphia.
Immediately after Point scored a goal on the power play during the middle frame, Cam York fell onto Point's right leg, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com. Point wasn't able to leave the ice under his own power and ultimately did not return to the game. The Lightning will play in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Pittsburgh, so given the quick turnaround, Point should not be expected to be available for that matchup. It's a possibility the right-shot center will return to Tampa Bay in the near future to be fully evaluated. The Lightning's current road trip concludes Sunday in Dallas.

Lightning's Curtis Douglas: Sent to AHL for conditioning
Douglas was sent to AHL Syracuse on Monday on a conditioning assignment.
Douglas has been a healthy scratch for the Lightning in six consecutive games and eight of their last nine. His conditioning assignment can stay in effect for up to 14 days. Douglas has accounted for two helpers, 75 PIM, 29 hits and a plus-1 rating over 27 appearances with the big club this season.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Slated to start Tuesday
Vasilevskiy is expected to get the starting nod on the road versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
With Jonas Johansson getting the start on the road versus the Flyers on Monday, it will be Vasilevskiy's crease for the second half of the Lightning's back-to-back Tuesday. After a slow start to the 2025-26 campaign, the 31-year-old Vasilevskiy is riding a seven-game winning streak, during which he is sporting a 2.41 GAA and .903 save percentage.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Tending twine Monday
Johansson will defend the cage on the road versus the Flyers on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Johansson will take the first game of the Lightning's back-to-back, which means Andrei Vasilevskiy figures to be the starter for Tuesday's road contest in Pittsburgh. In his 17 appearances this year, the 30-year-old Johansson is 9-6-1 with an .894 save percentage and 2.83 GAA.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Lucky seven-straight wins
Vasilevskiy made 18 saves in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
That was lucky seven wins in a row, without even rolling the dice. Vasilevskiy continues to deliver elite goaltending, with an 18-7-2 record, one shutout, 2.33 GAA and .913 save percentage. You know what to do.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Five points in last four games
Cirelli put up two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday.
Cirelli has two goals and three assists in four games since the calendar flipped to 2026. He has six shots, two hits, one block and a plus-five rating in that span. However, Cirelli still struggles at the dot. He's 25-for-55 (45.5 percent) over his last four outings. Still, he's on pace to top 50 points this season, score more than 20 goals and his plus-minus is already stellar at plus-24 in 39 games.
