Finds twine Thursday Goncalves scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact The goal was Goncalves' first of the year. It sparked the Lightning's offense early in the second period, helping them overcome an early 2-0 deficit. Goncalves has added four assists, nine shots on net, 14 hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 14 appearances. He's occupying a third-line role currently, so his offense may not be very consistent.

Three assists in last two games Goncalves delivered two assists in a 4-3 victory over the Bruins on Monday.

Impact He, Jake Guentzel and Anthony Cirelli came out hot and accounted for the first two Tampa Bay goals. Goncalves finished 2024-25 with 20 points in 60 games, and he will obliterate that total quickly with this plum assignment. He already has three assists in his last two games.

Draws helper in loss Goncalves notched an assist in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.

Impact Goncalves has added five hits and a blocked shot over two games this season. While he's listed on the second line and second power-play unit, the reality is the Lightning lean heavily on their five best forwards for offense with mixed results for the depth players so far. Goncalves is in the latter group and will likely continue to see limited minutes, though that may not hurt his production much. He put up 20 points in 60 regular-season outings despite averaging just 12:48 of ice time last year, and he should be good for some natural scoring growth with more experience in his second campaign.

Staying in Tampa Bay Goncalves signed a two-year, $2.4 million contract with the Lightning on Tuesday.

Impact In his first full season with Tampa Bay, Goncalves provided eight goals, 20 points, 71 hits and a plus-7 rating over 60 regular-season appearances. The 24-year-old, selected by the Lightning in the second round of the 2020 NHL Draft, will likely receive middle-six minutes in 2025-26, though he's capable of playing up and down the lineup.

Opens scoring in loss Goncalves scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

Impact Goncalves' postseason should be considered encouraging, as the 24-year-old put up four points, four shots on net, 15 hits, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over five games. That follows his 20-point effort over 60 regular-season contests in his first full NHL campaign. Goncalves was mostly a bottom-six forward this year, but he averaged 16:54 of ice time per game in the playoffs compared to 12:48 per contest in the regular season. All signs point to him playing a larger role to begin 2025-26 once the pending restricted free agent gets a new deal signed.

Impact Goncalves is coming off a 20-point (eight goals, 12 assists) rookie campaign where he averaged 12:48. On Saturday, his ice time was 18:31; it was the second time this postseason he's seen that much ice time. Goncalves has three assists and nine hits in three games so far this season (zero shots).

Earns first playoff point Goncalves notched an assist and three hits in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 1.

Impact Goncalves is set to fill a middle-six role in the postseason, though he had an impressive 20:07 of ice time Tuesday in his playoff debut. He also earned his first postseason point with a helper on a Brayden Point goal. Goncalves established himself with 20 points, 61 shots on net, 71 hits and a plus-7 rating over 60 regular-season appearances. He'll be a depth option in fantasy playoff pools, though the Lightning will need to turn things around after a disappointing Game 1.

Provides pair of helpers Goncalves logged two assists and three hits in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

Impact Goncalves has turned the heat up on offense with three goals and three assists over his last five games. The 24-year-old forward is still working on consistency over longer stretches, but he can give fantasy managers a boost on offense when he's in a groove. For the season, he's produced 20 points (eight goals, 12 helpers) with 56 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-8 rating over 58 appearances.

Two goals in loss Friday Goncalves scored two goals in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit.

Impact Goncalves found the back of the net with his two shots in this defeat Friday, scoring late in the second period and early in the third frame to boost his season tally to eight goals. He has four of those goals over his last eight outings, but even if he's playing in the second line, Goncalves isn't offering a lot of upside in most fantasy formats. He's racked up 10 points (seven goals, three assists) in 21 appearances since the beginning of March, a stretch in which he's also notched 20 shots, 33 hits and nine blocked shots.

Finds twine in shootout loss Goncalves scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.

Impact Goncalves has scored twice over his last five games. The 24-year-old had a strong February but has returned to more of a supporting role on offense in March and April, which makes sense given his third-line role and a renewed lack of power-play time. He's now at six goals, 15 points, 49 shots on net, 62 hits and a plus-4 rating across 54 appearances this season.

Impact Goncalves ended a six-game goal drought with his second-period tally. He had two assists in that stretch. The 24-year-old continues to see middle-six usage, though he's once again out of the mix for power-play time, which will likely limit his offense. For the season, he's produced five goals, 14 points, 43 shots on net, 56 hits and a plus-3 rating across 50 outings.
