Darren Raddysh - Puts up trio of helpers Raddysh notched three assists, four shots on goal, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Raddysh has remained productive since the Olympic break, compiling six assists, including three on the power play, over his last seven games. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 58 points (23 on the power play), 153 shots on net, 59 hits, 56 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-18 rating in a breakout campaign.

Zemgus Girgensons - Lights lamp in Sunday's loss Girgensons scored a goal, added two PIM and levied four hits in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Girgensons snapped a six-game point drought with the tally. The 32-year-old has rebounded to his usual level of production this season with 15 points in 55 outings after being limited to six points in 82 regular-season contests last year. Girgensons also has 72 shots on net, 153 hits, 30 blocked shots and 22 PIM while primarily playing in a middle-six role for the Lightning in 2025-26.

Corey Perry - Scores, fights Sunday Perry scored a goal, went plus-2 and added five PIM in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Perry fought Beck Malenstyn early in the second period and then scored shortly after he served his time in the sin bin. With a goal in each of his two games since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kings, it's clear why Tampa Bay wanted him back. The 40-year-old winger is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 92 shots on net, 64 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 52 outings this season.

J.J. Moser - Three-point effort in Sunday's loss Moser scored a goal on three shots, added two assists, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Moser put a four-game slump to rest with his best outing of the season. The defenseman was pressed into heavier minutes since he didn't get involved in the first-period shenanigans that landed some of his fellow blueliners in the penalty box. Moser's goal was his first since Jan. 13 versus the Penguins. The Swiss defenseman is up to six goals, 23 points, 92 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 49 PIM, 46 hits and a plus-40 rating over 60 outings in a top-four role this season.

Brayden Point - Extends point streak Point scored a goal in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Point was credited with a goal that gave the Bolts a 6-4 lead, but the puck was placed into the net by a Sabres defenseman. Still, this goal extended Point's streak to four games with at least one goal or assist. Over that four-game stretch, the 29-year-old center has two goals and three assists, but he's also racked up 10 points (five goals, five assists) since the Olympic break.

Brandon Hagel - Two points, 11 PIM in loss Hagel recorded a goal, an assist, 11 PIM, two shots on goal and a blocked shot in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact The 11 PIM were a season-high for Hagel, though the game was intense, with 70 penalty minutes combined between the two teams. The 27-year-old winger also contributed in the scoring column, as this was his second straight multi-point effort. Hagel has been a bit inconsistent on a game-to-game basis of late, but he's still racked up 10 points (five goals, five assists) in his last 10 appearances dating back to Feb. 1.

23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Nikita Kucherov - Three points in loss Kucherov recorded two goals, including one on the power play, and an assist in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Kucherov was coming off a four-assist performance in the 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday, and the star winger remains on a scorching-hot trail of late. Kucherov has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his last 13 appearances, recording eight multi-point performances and tallying 29 points (nine goals, 20 helpers) over that prolific stretch.

23 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jonas Johansson - Concedes eight in goalfest Johansson stopped 34 of 42 shots in Sunday's 8-7 loss to the Sabres.

Impact Conceding seven goals is far from ideal, as Johansson only posted an .810 save percentage in one of the highest-scoring games of the 2025-26 NHL season so far. Johansson has appeared in six games (five starts) since the beginning of January, going 2-3-0 with a 4.35 GAA and an .855 save percentage. He's firmly entrenched as the Bolts' No. 2 option between the posts behind Andrei Vasilevskiy, so he's not going to have a lot of upside in most slates, but even when he's scheduled to start, he's a matchup-based, streaming-only option.
