Brayden Point - Questionable for Saturday Point (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Islanders, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Point has missed six consecutive games. He has struggled this season with only three goals and eight assists in 21 contests, a far cry from the last three seasons when he combined for 262 points in 240 regular-season games.

Victor Hedman - Deemed probable against Islanders Hedman (undisclosed) was labeled probable to suit up versus the Islanders on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Hedman led the post-practice stretch Friday, so all signs certainly point to him getting back into the lineup against New York. In order to play, the 34-year-old blueliner will first need to be activated off long-term injured reserve, though Tampa already created the necessary roster space by sending Declan Carlile back to AHL Syracuse on Friday. While Hedman has yet to find the back of the net this season, he did rack up 12 helpers in 15 games before getting hurt.

Declan Carlile - Returned to minors Carlile was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday.
Impact Carlile has appeared in nine NHL games this year, generating one goal, five shots and nine hits while averaging 12:53 of ice time. The decision to return Carlile to the minors could be an indication that Victor Hedman (undisclosed) will be ready to play versus the Islanders on Saturday, though the Bolts could also bring another player back up from the minors.

Impact Johansson had won two straight prior to Thursday. Overall, he's 5-3-0 with a 3.06 GAA and .892 save percentage in eight starts this season.

Kucherov's nine-game scoring streak had been snapped Tuesday, but he's right back on the board. He has 12 goals, 22 assists and 81 shots in 25 games.

Ryan McDonagh - Re-ups with Bolts McDonagh (undisclosed) agreed to terms on a three-year, $12.3 million contract extension with Tampa Bay on Thursday.
Impact McDonagh -- who is currently on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury -- is on his second stint with the Lightning, having spent five seasons with the organization from 2017-2022. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran blueliner was chipping in well offensively with three goals and three helpers in 15 appearances. While McDonagh won't be much of a factor with the man advantage, he should still be capable of pushing for the 30-point threshold -- assuming he gets back into the lineup sooner rather than later.
