In action against Cats Raddysh (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's matchup with Florida, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Raddysh was questionable heading into Tuesday's game, but will be in the lineup for the Bolts. The 29-year-old defenseman is currently mired in a 14-game goal drought, though he has chipped in five helpers, 14 shots and 11 blocks over that stretch. While there is little reason to expect the Lightning to move away from utilizing seven defensemen, Raddysh would likely be the odd man out if they shift back to a 12/6 deployment.

Considered day-to-day Raddysh (undisclosed) is day-to-day and could play against Florida on Tuesday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Raddysh didn't participate in Monday's practice after missing the third period in Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo. However, the 29-year-old defender will test his injury Tuesday morning and stands a good chance of being available to play versus the Panthers. Raddysh has five goals, 36 points, 104 shots on net and 66 blocked shots through 71 appearances this season.

Departs Sunday's game Raddysh (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo, and head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on his status after the game, Benjamin Pie...

Impact Raddysh logged 9:06 of ice time prior to exiting in the second period. The Lightning went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen Sunday due to a few injuries up front, so they'll need to promote someone from AHL Syracuse if Raddysh is forced to miss any time. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's potential preview of a first-round playoff matchup against the Panthers.

Impact Raddysh has really stepped up his game in the last two weeks. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two games, and eight points (two goals, six assists) in his last six contests. Raddysh has 10 shots in that span. He is now just two points from equaling his career mark of 33, which was set last season in 82 games. This year, Raddysh has done it in 57, and he's already matched his seven power-play points from last season, too. He has some deep league value, and he's widely available.

Plates helper Monday Raddysh dished an assist and took two shots on net in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Raddysh's helper was the primary pass to Brayden Point for Tampa's lone goal of the night. The 29-year-old Raddysh is up to 21 assists, 24 points and 82 shots on target in 52 games this season. Monday's helper ended a six-game scoreless drought for the blueliner. Raddysh saw an encouraging increase in his power-play time with 5:13 TOI Monday. He is near the pace needed to post a new career-best season if he can pass 33 points. With Tampa competing for a playoff spot in the Atlantic, the bottom-four defenseman should see a good amount of opportunities to reach a career-best mark offensively.
