Finds net once again Lilleberg scored a goal on his lone shot on target, blocked one shot, racked up two penalty minutes and held a plus-2 rating during his 16:02 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 win over...

Impact Despite the least amount of ice time of any of the team's dressed defenseman, Lilleberg turned in a really solid game. The 24-year-old was one of three Lightning players to finish the contest with a plus-2 rating and also found the back of the net for the second time in his last three games. Once Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) are ready to return, it will be interesting to see how Lilleberg will fit in, if at all.

Gets on scoresheet with assist Lilleberg notched an assist and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Impact The helper was Lilleberg's first point of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman has added eight shots on net, 17 hits, 11 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a minus-3 rating. He's a tough customer, but he had just 19 points in 76 regular-season outings last year, so don't expect a lot of offense. Lilleberg should be a bottom-four regular on the Lightning's blue line.

Adds helper Monday Lilleberg logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4.

Impact Lilleberg picked up his first point of the postseason when he helped out on a Mitchell Chaffee tally in the second period. The 24-year-old Lilleberg has added seven hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over four playoff contests. He had 19 points, 105 PIM, 46 shots on net, 114 hits and 61 blocks over 76 regular-season outings in his second NHL campaign.

First career goal is game-winner Lilleberg scored a goal, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact It took until his 111th game, but Lilleberg finally has his first NHL goal. He stretched the Lightning's lead to 5-2 at 16:45 of the second period, and that tally held up as the game-winner. It also snapped a seven-game point drought for the 24-year-old blueliner. He's been effective in his role as a physical defenseman in 2024-25, earning 19 points, 45 shots on net, 105 PIM, 113 hits, 59 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 74 appearances.

Impact Lilleberg set up Gage Goncalves' goal in the second period, which put the Lightning up 3-0.

However, he's still looking for his first NHL goal after 103 career games and counting.

First multi-pointer of career Lilleberg had two helpers and three hits Saturday in a 6-2 win over Boston.

Impact It was Lilleberg's first mult-point NHL game. The 24-year-old Norwegian is up to 16 assists in 61 games this season, but he's still looking for his first NHL goal. Lilleberg does have 97 hits, which gives him a bit of potential as a category stacker in leagues that count that stat.

Contributes assist Sunday Lilleberg notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Lilleberg has two helpers over six contests in February. The 24-year-old defenseman has racked up five assists over his last 14 games -- while it's not much, it's a noticeable uptick in offense for the heavy-hitting blueliner. He's at 13 helpers, 32 shots on net, 89 hits, 76 PIM and 46 blocked shots over 51 appearances while holding down a third-pairing role in his second NHL campaign.

First point since suspension Lilleberg provided an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Senators.

Impact This was Lilleberg's second game back from a two-game suspension. He has four helpers over his last 10 outings, though it's unlikely the 24-year-old blueliner will maintain that level of production in the long run. The Norwegian defenseman is at 12 assists, 29 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 76 PIM and 83 hits through 47 appearances in a bottom-four role this season.

Finishes serving suspension Lilleberg is eligible to return to the lineup versus the Islanders on Saturday after completing his two-game suspension, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
