GAME LOG
Conor Geekie - Won't play Monday Geekie has been ruled out for Monday's game against Florida due to an unspecified injury, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Impact Geekie crashed into the boards in the second period of Sunday's game against the Panthers but was able to return later in the frame and finish out the matchup. However, he'll be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday. The exact nature and severity of the 20-year-old's injury aren't yet clear, but he'll have several days to recover before the Lightning face the Rangers on Saturday.

Victor Hedman - Logs helper in loss Hedman notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
Impact The helper was Hedman's first point in three games since he returned from missing two contests due to a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old defenseman has had few dry spells this year while serving as the Lightning's unquestioned top blueliner. He's at four goals, 22 helpers, 68 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 29 appearances.
DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Darren Raddysh - Dishes two assists in loss Raddysh provided a pair of assists and three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Raddysh has four helpers over his last five contests. The 28-year-old continues to fill a larger role with J.J. Moser (lower body) unavailable, with Raddysh now picking up top-four minutes and power-play time on the second unit. The blueliner has 11 points, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 23 appearances. Raddysh is worth a look in deeper fantasy formats -- he was a 33-point producer in 2023-24 and the Lightning have one of the best offenses in the league.
DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Brayden Point - Point streak reaches eight games Point scored a goal and took two shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
Impact Point has been on fire of late and his third-period goal pushed his impressive streak to eight games, a span in which he's racked up six goals and 12 assists while posting a plus-five rating. He's likely to regress at some point, though, as his 28.6 shot percentage isn't sustainable, but there's no question the 28-year-old is going through a sizzling stretch in December. Over the course of the full season, Point has racked up 39 points (22 goals, 17 helpers) in 27 games, and he could reach the 90-point plateau for a third straight campaign if he keeps up this level of production for a few more weeks.
DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nicholas Paul - Scores in loss to Florida Paul scored a goal and took three shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
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. The 29-year-old is up to eight goals this season, though his chances to keep producing won't be very high since he remains rooted in a bottom-six role.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Winning streak snapped Sunday Vasilevskiy stopped 22 of 25 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the third period.
Impact Vasilevskiy saw the end of his three-game winning streak Sunday, but that shouldn't take away the fact that he's been playing at a very high level in recent weeks. Since the beginning of December, the 30-year-old Russian netminder has gone 5-2-0 with a 2.17 GAA and a .819 save percentage across seven appearances. He owns a 2.41 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 26 starts in 2024-25,

Zemgus Girgensons - Exits with apparent injury Girgensons sustained an apparent injury late in the third period of Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Impact The nature and severity of Girgenson's injury aren't yet clear, but he had trouble skating to the bench after getting hurt late in the matchup. Prior to his exit, he tallied two hits and a blocked shot in 12:12 of ice time. Whether the 30-year-old will be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday against Florida remains to be seen.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - In goal Sunday Vasilevskiy will patrol the home crease against Florida on Sunday, per Doug Plagens of the Panthers Radio Network.
Impact Vasilevskiy has allowed only seven goals on 86 shots during his three-game winning streak. He has a 15-9-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.38 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. Florida sits fourth in the league with 3.53 goals per game in 2024-25.

Conor Geekie - Posts assist Thursday Geekie logged an assist in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
Impact Geekie has picked up four points over his last seven contests. The 20-year-old rookie is up to 10 points, 38 shots on net, 48 hits and a plus-5 rating through 30 games. He's not producing at a particularly high level, but it's still worth keeping an eye on his performance -- he's in a second-line role at even strength and playing on the second power-play unit. Geekie could grow his offense as the season progresses.
DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nick Perbix - Scores in Thursday's win Perbix scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blues.
Impact Perbix is on a season-best three-game point streak, accumulating a goal and two assists in that span. He saw a larger role while the Lightning navigated a rough patch of injuries on defense, and he's likely to stay in the lineup regularly since J.J. Moser (lower body) is out for 8-10 weeks. Perbix has four goals, 10 points, 31 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-7 rating over 25 appearances. That said, the 26-year-old figures to play on the third pairing most of the time.
