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.

He's up to 14 tallies, 28 points, 76 shots on net, 37 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 41 appearances.

Tampa Bay visits Montreal after Paul's 2-goal game

The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the Montreal Canadiens after Nicholas Paul scored two goals in the Lightning's 5-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs

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.

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.

First power-play goal of season Paul scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Carolina.

Impact Paul jammed in a rebound in the second period to put the Bolts up 2-1. It was his first point in five games, and his first power-play goal of the season. Paul had gone on a bit of a rip starting before the holiday break (three goals, three assists) in five games. But he remains prone to surges and slips in production that keep his managers frustrated by his lack of consistency.

Impact Paul missed six games in November due to an undisclosed injury but has been putting up decent numbers since his return, tallying three goals and five total points in eight appearances in December.

Three-point outburst Paul had a goal and two assists in a 5-3 win over Columbus on Tuesday.

Impact It was a big night for Paul, who started the season with an outstanding October (nine points in 10 games), but had struggled to rebound after missing time with an injury. This game snapped a four-game scoreless streak. Paul is a decent mid-level fantasy contributor in deep formats, that is if this game signals a return to his potential. He won't often put up big games, but he can deliver secondary scoring.
