Andrei Vasilevskiy - Set to face Montreal Vasilevskiy will patrol the home crease against the Canadiens on Tuesday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Impact Vasilevskiy is coming off a 26-save performance in Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa. He has a 35-12-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 51 appearances. Montreal sits third in the league with 3.51 goals per game this season.

Nikita Kucherov - Officially game-time call Kucherov (illness) will be a game-time decision versus the Canadiens on Tuesday, Eric Engels of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Kucherov has been out of action for the Bolts' last two games due to his illness but seems to be trending in the right direction. Assuming the 32-year-old winger does suit up, he figures to retake his spot on the first line in addition to slotting back in with the No. 1 power-play unit.

Canadiens take on the Lightning on 5-game winning streak

The Montreal Canadiens seek to keep a five-game win streak alive when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning

Corey Perry - Scores winning goal Sunday Perry scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Perry delivered the game-winner for the Bolts at the 6:52 mark of the final frame with a snap shot. Even though the veteran forward doesn't have the role he had in his prime, he remains a capable performer. He's up to four goals and six points in 13 games since being acquired by Tampa Bay from Los Angeles midway through the season. This was his 15th overall goal in 63 appearances.

Brandon Hagel - Scores 35th goal of season Hagel scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Hagel found the back of the net at the 4:33 mark of the final frame, giving the Lightning a transitory 2-1 lead, although the Bolts would end up winning thanks to a later goal from Corey Perry. Hagel has matched the best goal tally of his career, set across 82 regular-season games in 2024-25, though he's unlikely to reach the 90-point threshold he did then. Over 68 regular-season contests, Hagel has notched 73 points (35 goals and 38 assists) in 2025-26. He's also on quite a scoring roll since he's found the back of the net in three of his last four appearances.

Jake Guentzel - Three-point performance Sunday Guentzel recorded a goal and two assists in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Guentzel scored Tampa Bay's first goal with a wrister at the 13:32 mark of the second period, but he also assisted on the subsequent goals scored by Brandon Hagel and Corey Perry. Guentzel has found the back of the net in four games in a row and six of his last seven, and he's up to 35 goals and 45 assists in 72 games. This is just the third season in his career that he has reached the 80-point threshold, and he looks within reach of setting a new career-best mark in points. His current career high is 84 points, established in 76 regular-season games with the Penguins in 2021-22.

Jonas Johansson - Earns win in spot start Johansson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Impact Johansson was beaten in the first and second periods, but overall, he looked competent between the pipes and did enough to support Tampa Bay's comeback in the third frame. Johansson earned his first win since Jan. 12, but given that he rarely suits up for the Bolts, he's not a player to target in most fantasy formats -- even on games where Andrei Vasilevskiy gets a breather.

Jonas Johansson - Gets rare start Sunday Johansson will tend the goal Sunday against the Predators, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Impact Of the Lightning's 15 games in March so far, this is just the third one that will be started by Johansson. The 30-year-old hasn't picked up a win since January as he's gone 0-3-1 in his last four starts. He is 10-9-2 on the season with a 3.26 GAA and an .883 save percentage. After a five-game win streak, the Predators have taken losses in back-to-back games while combining to score just three goals.

Nick Paul - Ready to return Sunday Paul (illness) will play against Nashville on Sunday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact After sitting out Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa, Paul will return to a fourth-line role against the Predators on Sunday. He has accounted for seven goals, 13 points, 52 shots on net and 56 hits across 41 appearances this season.

Nikita Kucherov - Unavailable Sunday Kucherov (illness) won't play against Nashville on Sunday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Kucherov was not on the ice for pregame warmups and will miss his second straight game. He has accumulated 40 goals, 121 points and 205 shots on net across 67 appearances this season. Kucherov's next opportunity to play will come against Montreal on Tuesday.

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Overcomes rough start Vasilevskiy made 26 saves Saturday in a 4-2 win over Ottawa.

Impact It was a rough start for Vasilevskiy, who allowed a five-hole goal 18 seconds into the game and was out of position four minutes later for the Sens' second goal. He then tightened the proverbial hatches and dominated. Vasilevskiy is undefeated in regulation in six games (5-0-1). He will likely get the night off Sunday when Tampa plays Nashville.

Jake Guentzel - Three-game goal streak Guentzel scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over Ottawa.

Impact It was a breakaway snipe late in the third period to seal the win 4-2. Guentzel has scored in three consecutive games (three goals, two assists), and he has a goal in five of his last six contests. The goal was his 34th this season (77 points in 72 games).
