Gage Goncalves - NHL News & Rumors

Returning to action Goncalves (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's home contest versus Columbus, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Goncalves missed the last four games as a result of his lower-body issue. The 25-year-old skated on the second line with Jake Guentzel and Brayden Point during Tuesday's morning skate, and Goncalves also worked with the No. 2 power-play unit, both of which boost his fantasy outlook.

Impact Goncalves hasn't played in any of the Lightning's three games in March so far due to injury, and he is considered day-to-day. The 25-year-old has 20 points (seven goals, 13 assists) in 54 games on the season. His next chance at a return will be Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.

Ruled out Saturday Goncalves (lower body) will not be available Saturday in Toronto, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact General manager Julien BriseBois said that Goncalves is day-to-day. The 25-year-old will miss his third straight game after he was injured Feb. 28 against the Sabres. Goncalves has seven goals and 20 points over 54 games this season. He could return as early as Sunday in Buffalo.

Dealing with lower-body issue Goncalves is sidelined with a lower-body injury and is considered day-to-day, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports Thursday.

Impact Goncalves has already been ruled out for Thursday's clash with the Jets, but his day-to-day classification could open the door for him to return for Saturday's matchup with the Maple Leafs. Once given the all-clear, the natural center should retake a bottom-six role, especially with Dominic James (leg) sidelined for the rest of the regular season.

Impact Goncalves will also sit out Thursday's matchup against Winnipeg, and he could miss additional playing time afterward. He sustained the injury in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Buffalo. He has produced seven goals, 20 points, 50 shots on net and 58 hits across 54 appearances this season. Due to the absence of Goncalves, Oliver Bjorkstrand is in line to occupy a top-six role.

Leaves Saturday's game Goncalves didn't finish Saturday's game versus the Sabres due to an undisclosed injury, and there was no update on his status from head coach Jon Cooper, Benjamin Pierce of the Lig...

Impact Goncalves was limited to 8:17 of ice time in the contest. The 25-year-old has been filling a larger role recently as a top-six option at even strength while the Lightning roll with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Curtis Douglas and Scott Sabourin are the extra forwards currently on the roster, though Oliver Bjorkstrand would likely get a bigger bump in usage if Goncalves misses time.

Adds trio of points in win Goncalves tallied a goal, supplied two assists, and placed two shots on net in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Goncalves found the back of the net after dangling back and forth past Toronto's Anthony Stolarz. The goal not only resulted in a fight between Goncalves and Oliver Ekman-Larsson, but it also helped Nikita Kucherov eclipse the 700-assist mark in his career. Overall, the 25-year-old Goncalves is up to seven goals, 13 assists, 46 shots on net and 54 hits across 52 games this season. His three-point night brought his point total up to 20, which tied the career high he set in 60 regular-season games a year ago. The young forward also drew a favorable line assignment alongside Jake Guentzel on the second unit, which could make Goncalves a sneaky fantasy add in deeper leagues for the time being.

Nets game winner Goncalves scored a goal Thursday in a 5-3 win over the Kings.

Impact Goncalves broke a 3-3 tie with just 1:41 left in the third period, and it stood as the winner. He has four points, including three assists, and six shots in his last four games. Goncalves is a bottom-six winger who occasionally plays up the lineup, but his overall production (four goals, eight assists; 36 games) isn't enough to make him valuable in the fantasy arena.

Produces pair of helpers Goncalves notched two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Impact Goncalves' offense has come around with four points over his last four games. He was a healthy scratch for four games in a row in the middle of December, but he's now seeing some top-six usage on paper, though his overall ice time is still in line with that of a bottom-six forward. He's at 11 points, 26 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 34 appearances.

Impact Goncalves had been a healthy scratch for four games recently, and this was his second contest back in the lineup.

He's up to three goals, eight points, 22 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 31 appearances this season.
