Luke Glendening - Playing, not producing Glendening has been held off the scoresheet through the first 16 games of the season.

Impact Glendening has been a fixture in the lineup for the Lightning, averaging 10:45 per game in a fourth-line role. The 35-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 30 hits and a minus-4 rating. He hasn't reached the 20-point mark since 2018-19, but this slow start on offense is rough even by his standards. Glendening produced 11 points over 81 regular-season contests last year.

Darren Raddysh - Lights lamp in win Raddysh scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact The Lightning have opted to dress seven defensemen over the last two games, and it's helped Raddysh to get in the lineup after being scratched for seven of the previous nine contests. He has a point in each of his last two outings, including a third-period goal Saturday. Raddysh is at three points, nine shots on net, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over nine appearances. He often plays on the second power-play unit when in the lineup, but Raddysh may lose his spot once Brayden Point (lower body) returns.

Nicholas Paul - Tallies in shutout win Paul scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Paul has four points over six games in November. The 29-year-old forward is up to five goals, eight helpers, 22 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating through 16 appearances this season. That's a pace that would put him over the 50-point mark for the first time in his career. Paul is handling a second-line role and a spot on the second power-play unit and looks like a good fit there and as a depth forward in fantasy.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Jake Guentzel - Records pair of helpers Guentzel logged two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Guentzel logged his second straight multi-point effort and his sixth such performance this season. One of his helpers came on the power play. Guentzel continues to excel in a top-six role in his first year with the Lightning, earning seven goals, 10 assists, 45 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 16 appearances. He often hovers right around a point-per-game pace, so this production is sustainable.

Gage Goncalves - Reassigned to Syracuse Goncalves was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Tampa Bay's next game is Tuesday in Pittsburgh, so there's a chance Goncalves will rejoin the NHL squad if Brayden Point (lower body) can't suit up. The 23-year-old Goncalves has played four games with the Lightning this year, averaging 11:44 of ice time without recording a point.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Nikita Kucherov - Seven-game, 12-point scoring streak Kucherov picked up two assists in a 4-0 win over the Devils on Saturday.

Impact The helpers extended his point streak to seven games (three goals, nine assists). Kucherov sits in a tie with Carolina's Martin Necas for fifth overall in league scoring with 26 points. A few weeks ago, Kucherov was tied for the league lead in points. He'll continue to vie for that title as the season wears on. He's only two points from third overall. Kucherov is an automatic fantasy start.

Anthony Cirelli - Point-per-game player so far Cirelli scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 4-0 win over New Jersey.

Impact He was awarded the empty-net goal when Luke Hughes threw his stick at Cirelli when he was on a breakaway. The pivot has really risen to the opportunity to play on the second line this season, and he has put up 16 points i(four goals, eight assists) in 16 games. Cirelli also has a 52.6 percent faceoff success rate, which elevates his value in a highly competitive and deep pool at center.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Hedman - Point-per-game pace so far Hedman had a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over New Jersey on Saturday.

Impact He scored on the power play at 7:40 of the third to push the Bolts up 3-0. Hedman has four goals and 12 assists in 16 games, and he's only once finished a season (2021-22) where he's scored at least a point-per-game. This may be the next one. Hedman already has 44 shots, eight power-play points and a plus-5 rating.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Star rising again Vasilevskiy made 29 saves in a 4-0 win over the Devils on Saturday.

Impact The shutout was Vasilevskiy's second of the season and 36th in the NHL.

He was also honored for earning his 300th win on Thursday with a pre-game ceremony. Vasilevskiy has won two straight games, and he has allowed just two goals in his last three games (2-0-1). He sits third in the NHL with a 2.15 GAA overall, and his .920 save percentage is top-10 in the NHL. The old Vasy is back!

Darren Raddysh - Pockets helper Thursday Raddysh supplied an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Raddysh has had trouble getting in the lineup when the Lightning aren't dressing seven defensemen. The 28-year-old hasn't helped his cause -- he has just five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating to go with two assists and seven shots on net over eight appearances. He's played in just three of the Lightning's last 10 contests, and he could exit the lineup again once Brayden Point (lower body) is ready to return.

The 35-year-old McDonagh is up to five helpers in 15 contests, and he's added 31 blocked shots, 14 shots on goal and a plus-11 rating. He's a defensive specialist who can chip in some extra offense, so he may have viability in deeper fantasy formats.
