First two-point game since Jan. 20 Paul scored a goal and added an assist in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sabres.

Impact It was a dirty goal -- Paul's first period centering pass attempt deflected off Connor Clifton's skate and past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. It was Paul's first multi-point game since Jan. 20. He has 19 goals, 16 assists and 99 shots in 56 games.

First assist in 17 games Paul picked an apple in Saturday's 3-1 win over Washington.

Impact It was Paul's first assist since Jan. 14, a span of 17 games (seven goals). He started the season strong with nine points (three goals, six assists) in his first nine games and 14 in his first 18 games. Those are incredible numbers for a guy whose best season was 46 points (2023-24). But Paul's pace has slowed significantly since then -- he has just 19 points in the next 35 games. He does have five points (four goals, one helper) in his last six games, but Paul is better left on your wire. This run will get cold fast.

Four-game goal streak Paul scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.

Impact Paul extended his goal streak to four games and four goals. He's having a pretty typical Nick Paul year. He hasn't put up an assist in 15 games, but he has seven goals in that span. And he's on place for 26 goals, which would be a new career mark. Paul has scored more goals than he has delivered helpers in his past two seasons, and it looks like he could do the same again this year. He has 18 goals and 14 assists in 51 games this season.

Tallies goal in third straight Paul capitalized with an empty-net goal and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win against Seattle.

Impact Paul's empty-netter helped seal the win for Tampa Bay with just under two minutes left to play. With the goal, Paul has scored in his previous three games dating back to Feb. 8 before the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Overall, Paul is up to 17 goals, 31 points and 92 shots on net in 50 appearances this year. Tampa's third-line center has eight goals since 2025 but only three assists in this chunk of time. While better options are likely on the waiver wire in fantasy, he is close to the pace needed to break his career high in points with 46 from a year ago. If he can become a more consistent playmaker, he could have increased value in deeper leagues.

In action against Sens Paul (undisclosed) will suit up versus Ottawa on Thursday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Paul will avoid missing any games after being forced to exit Tuesday's tilt with the Senators after just 1:17 of ice time. The 29-year-old center is currently stuck in a rut with a five-game pointless streak during which he has generated 10 shots and 10 hits.

Sets stage for comeback Paul scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Paul tallied late in the second period to bring the Lightning within a goal.

He's up to 14 tallies, 28 points, 76 shots on net, 37 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 41 appearances. He's playing less of a physical game than in years past, but he's also found a little more offense.

JANUARY 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Seven points in last eight games Paul scored twice in a 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday.

Impact Paul's last multi-point game over a month ago on Dec. 17 when he put up three points, but that's not really what you expect from him. He has seven points (four goals, including two on the power play, and three assists) in his last eight games and 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 37 games. That puts Paul on a 52-point pace, and that would be a career high. It's come at the expense of some physicality -- Paul has just 35 hits after putting up two consecutive seasons with at least 104. That doesn't affect all managers, but it's clear his game has evolved. Paul can help in deep formats.

Fills empty cage Paul scored an empty-net goal and added three hits in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

Impact Paul has two goals and two assists during a four-game point streak, which he was able to keep alive with a goal in the final minute of this contest. The 29-year-old was up on the second line Sunday since Conor Geekie was a healthy scratch. Paul has most often played as a third-line center, racking up 11 goals, 13 helpers, 59 shots on net, 31 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 35 appearances this season, which has a little value in deeper fantasy formats.
