Third goal of season Goncalves scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Impact Goncalves cut the score to 3-1 early in the third period with a goal from above the hash marks. It was his third goal of the season. Goncalves is skating on the third line with newcomers Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand. It's a great opportunity for the winger to grow his game and gain experience. But it won't likely make him fantasy relevant, at least this season. Goncalves has three goals, seven hits, 42 hits, 12 blocks and 39 shots in 42 games this season.

Seven points in last 10 games Goncalves scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Capitals.

Goncalves has just nine points in 37 games this season, but seven (one goal, six assists) have come in his last 10 contests. He has 17 shots in that span. Fantasy managers in deep formats may find him useful in the short term.

Keeps rolling Sunday Goncalves notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.

Impact Nikita Kucherov (upper body) was a last-minute scratch, and Goncalves moved over to right wing on the top line. He made good on head coach Jon Cooper's trust, picking up his fifth assist in the last six games when he set up a Victor Hedman tally in the first period. Goncalves spent a couple of weeks with AHL Syracuse in January, and it appears to have benefited his performance. He could be assigned to play with the minor-league team during the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it's likely Goncalves will be with the big club for most of the rest of the campaign. He has seven points, 30 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-3 rating over 33 appearances.

FEBRUARY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stays warm with helper Goncalves logged an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Impact Goncalves will be sad to see the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- he has four assists over his last five outings. The 24-year-old earned a look in the top six over the previous two contests due to his recent strong play. The Lightning have one more game prior to the break, as the visit the Canadiens on Sunday, and Goncalves should be a decent DFS budget option for the two-game slate if he stays in the top six.

FEBRUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Gets look on top line Goncalves notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

Goncalves has a helper in three of his last four contests, and he's up to five points, 28 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-2 rating over 31 games this season.

FEBRUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Back in NHL Goncalves was called up from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

Impact Goncalves was returned to Syracuse on Friday in what turned out to be a paper move to reduce the Lightning's salary cap. Goncalves had an assist Thursday in a 3-0 win over LA. Look for Goncalves to see bottom-six minutes against the Islanders on Saturday, while Michael Eyssimont remains a healthy scratch.

FEBRUARY 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

He's been with Tampa Bay on several occasions this year, but it's unclear whether he'll be recalled before the league's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in with assist Goncalves notched an assist in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kings.

Impact The helper was Goncalves' first point since Dec. 19 versus the Blues. The 24-year-old spend a couple of weeks at AHL Syracuse after clearing waivers earlier in January. He's not out of the woods when it comes to staying in the NHL or in the Lightning's lineup, but he played over Michael Eyssimont in this contest. Cam Atkinson is also in the mix to be a healthy scratch at times. Goncalves has just three points with 20 shots on net and 22 hits over 28 appearances this season.

JANUARY 31, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Summoned from minors Goncalves was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Monday.

Impact Goncalves was waived by Tampa Bay on Jan. 13 and ultimately was not claimed by another club. The 24-year-old has notched a goal and an assist over 26 appearances with the Lightning this season. He'll most likely serve as the team's 13th forward Tuesday against Chicago.

JANUARY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on waivers Goncalves was placed on waivers Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

First NHL goal Gonsalves scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over St. Louis.

Impact It was his first NHL goal. He took a pass from Nikita Kucherov, fumbled the puck into his feet and still managed to go glove shelf on Jordan Binnington. Goncalves has strong offensive instincts, but he hasn't been able to translate those skills into production from the Bolts bottom six. He has one goal, one assist and 14 shots in 18 games. There's not much fantasy value in Goncalves' game at this point in his career.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first career point Goncalves notched a power-play assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Nine of the Lightning's 12 forwards got on the scoresheet, including Goncalves, who earned his first career point, an assist on Conor Geekie's game-tying goal in the third period. Goncalves has moved between the NHL and AHL Syracuse with frequency lately as the Lightning partake in some cap gymnastics. He could stick around to fill in for Nick Paul (undisclosed) for a bit, but it's unclear if Goncalves has done enough to be a lineup regular moving forward. He has four shots on net, eight hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating through six contests in 2024-25.

NOVEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from minors Goncalves was called up from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Reassigned to Syracuse Goncalves was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Tampa Bay's next game is Tuesday in Pittsburgh, so there's a chance Goncalves will rejoin the NHL squad if Brayden Point (lower body) can't suit up. The 23-year-old Goncalves has played four games with the Lightning this year, averaging 11:44 of ice time without recording a point.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Goncalves was sent to the AHL on Saturday but will rejoin the Lightning a few days later. Over two appearances with Tampa Bay this year, he's logged two hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 10:12 of ice time. He could enter the lineup for Thursday's game against Winnipeg if Brayden Point (lower body) is unavailable.

He produced 13 goals and 58 points in 69 AHL games during the 2023-24 regular season.

Goncalves had 13 goals and 45 assists in 69 regular-season AHL games with Syracuse and has a chance to crack the Lightning lineup as a bottom-six forward.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-way deal Goncalves signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Friday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
