Lightning seek encore to offensive explosion vs. Capitals The Tampa Bay Lightning suddenly found their mojo Monday night against the Colorado Avalanche and will look to keep the offense thriving whe...
Erik Cernak - Posts helper in win Cernak recorded an assist, three hits, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Cernak has earned three assists over 10 games in November. That's about as good a scoring pace as anyone can expect from the 27-year-old blueliner, who fills a shutdown role on the Lightning's second pairing. He's earned six helpers, 15 shots on net, 12 PIM, a plus-7 rating, 31 hits and 28 blocked shots over 20 appearances in 2024-25.

Zemgus Girgensons - Produces helper in big win Girgensons notched an assist and four blocked shots in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Girgensons' helper was the 100th of his career. The 30-year-old forward has 189 points over 708 appearances, with much of his time in the NHL coming as a bottom-six player. This year, he's produced just the one assist in addition to 29 hits, 22 PIM, 17 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over his first 20 outings with the Lightning after a 10-year tenure with the Sabres. Girgensons has finished between 14 and 19 points in each of the last eight years, but he'll have some work to do to get to that level in 2024-25.

Michael Eyssimont - Tacks on goal Monday Eyssimont scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact This was his first goal and second point of the campaign, ending an 11-game slump. Eyssimont has been a bottom-six fixture since he made his season debut Oct. 15 after missing Opening Night. He's added 36 shots on net, 18 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 19 contests. Eyssimont can chip in depth scoring, as evidenced by his 25-point campaign in 2023-24, but he's also down 1:07 of ice time per game in 2024-25, which limits his opportunities to contribute.

Luke Glendening - Nets shorthanded goal Glendening scored a shorthanded goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact Glendening's first-period tally extended the Lightning's lead to 4-1. It was his first point of the season, though the defensive center has been a fixture on the fourth line. He's added 13 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 33 hits through 20 appearances. Glendening is more valuable to the Lightning than he is to fantasy managers.

Anthony Cirelli - Goal streak reaches six games Cirelli scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
Impact The Avalanche fired on all cylinders Monday, and Cirelli was able to extend his goal streak to six games. In that span, he has seven tallies and two assists. The second-line center is cruising in 2024-25, earning nine goals, 13 helpers, 38 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 20 appearances. He's never come close to a point-per-game pace for a full season, but Cirelli should be rostered in most fantasy formats as long as he's scoring.

Josh Manson - Earns helper in blowout loss Manson posted an assist, three hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 8-2 loss to the Lightning.
Impact Going plus-2 in a blowout loss like this one is an impressive feat. Manson snapped an eight-game point drought as well, and he's now at six points through 22 contests. The 33-year-old defenseman has added 24 shots on net, 49 hits, 32 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-8 rating on the season. He's a gritty second-pairing blueliner, so he'll have some fantasy value in formats that reward the rough stuff.
