Six one-goal games

Plays OT hero in Game 6 Goncalves scored the overtime winner Friday in the Lightning's 1-0 victory over the Canadiens in Game 6 of their first-round series.
Impact The 25-year-old winger scored the greasiest of goals midway through the first extra period, camping out in front of Jakub Dobes and banging home his own rebound after Dominic James shoveled the puck into the crease. It was Goncalves' first goal and second point of the postseason, and the bottom-six grinder's heroics kept the Lightning's campaign alive and forced a Game 7 on Sunday.

Two-point effort Tuesday Goncalves scored a goal on two shots, added a power-play assist and logged five hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Impact Goncalves opened the scored 5:45 into the game and also contributed a helper in the third period. He has four goals and two assists during a four-game point streak, which immediately followed him returning from missing four contests due to a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old is up to 11 goals, 26 points, 58 shots on net, 71 hits, 37 PIM and a plus-24 rating over 58 appearances this season. He's filled a versatile role at times this season, but he's currently getting top-six minutes at even strength with a power-play role.

Three-game, four-point streak Goncalves picked up an assist Saturday in a 4-1 loss to Carolina.
Impact Goncalves extended his point streak to three games (three goals, one assist). Yes, the run is modest. And his offensive output (24 points in 57 games) is eerily similar to last season's total (20 in 60 games). But Goncalves' game is rounding into form in a different way. He's plus-24 so far this season after delivering a plus-7 rating in 2024-25.

Conor Garland scores 2 to send Blue Jackets past Lightning, 5-2

MARCH 11 • Associated Press
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.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Out Sunday Goncalves (lower body) won't play Sunday night against the Sabres, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
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.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
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.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Out for at least two games Goncalves (undisclosed) won't be available for the start of Tampa Bay's four-game road trip, which begins against Minnesota on Tuesday, according to Erik Erlendsson of LightningIns...
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.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
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.
