Bags helper Tuesday Moser logged an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact The lopsided nature of the game allowed Moser to lead the Lightning with 19:29 of ice time. The helper snapped his eight-game point drought. Moser is up to two goals, 12 assists, 47 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-20 rating over 53 appearances.

Draws helper in big win Moser recorded an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Moser helped out on an Anthony Cirelli goal in the first period, the third of four tallies in a span of 3:47 by the Lightning. The 25-year-old Moser has just two helpers over 16 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury in February. His first season with the Lightning has seen him handle more defensive duties than he had with the Coyotes over the previous three campaigns. The Swiss blueliner is at 12 points, 43 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-15 rating across 43 appearances.

Ends slump with helper Moser notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Impact Moser had been held off the scoresheet in nine straight games entering Thursday. He ended the drought with the secondary helper on Cam Atkinson's third-period tally. The 25-year-old Moser plays in a top-four role, though his ice time has been a little limited lately -- he's exceeded 20 minutes in just three of 10 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury. He's at just 11 points, 37 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-12 rating across 37 outings this season.

No points since return Moser was held off the scoresheet for the ninth straight game in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Since his 27-game absence due to a lower-body injury, Moser has been quiet all around. He's picked up nine shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating since rejoining the lineup Feb. 23 versus the Kraken. The 25-year-old blueliner is still seeing a shutdown role in the top four, so his offense should eventually come around a bit thanks to his significant ice time. He's at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 27 hits and a plus-12 rating while averaging 19:39 of ice time over 36 appearances.

Moser has two goals and 10 points in 27 appearances in 2024-25. The Lightning will sometimes dress 11 forward and seven defensemen, but they'll probably stick with 12 forwards and six blueliners for the duration of Moser's absence.

Dealing with lower-body problem Moser is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Tuesday.

Impact Moser was already placed on injured reserve, so his recovery timeline shouldn't come as a surprise. The team did recall Declan Carlile from the minors to provide some defensive depth but could get back Victor Hedman (lower body) against the Jackets on Tuesday. For his part, Moser was poised to reach the 25-point mark for the third straight year and still could if he avoids missing too much time.

Impact The Lightning are already missing Victor Hedman (lower body) and Erik Cernak (lower body), so they can ill afford to be without a third blueliner. Moser had an assist in Thursday's 8-3 win, giving him 10 points through 27 outings this season, and he's often filled a top-four role. More information on the state of the Tampa Bay blue line will likely be available prior to Saturday's contest.

Notches helper in win Moser posted an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Moser snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on Nick Paul's third-period tally. The 24-year-old Moser has not produced steady offense despite playing in a top-pairing role for most of the campaign. He's up to nine points, 25 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 19 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 24 appearances. That puts him on a similar pace to the 26-point effort he mustered in 80 contests in 2023-24 with the Coyotes.

Sets up game-winning goal Moser registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact Moser set up Brayden Point's second goal of the game, which came at 3:58 of overtime to complete the comeback win. Aside from a pair of three-point games in October, it's been radio silence on the scoresheet for Moser. He snapped a 10-game point drought with his helper Tuesday and now has two goals, five assists, 21 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 13 hits and a plus-7 rating over 17 contests. He's filling a top-four role, but his slump has recently cost him power-play time, so he's more of a pure defender at this stage of the season.
