GAME LOG
Erik Cernak - Suffers injury Wednesday Cernak (upper body) was injured in the second period of Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports.
Impact Cernak was hit high by Matthew Steinburg and wasn't able to return to the game. Head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on Cernak's status after the contest. The Lightning are in the middle of a road trip with the next game coming Friday in Minnesota. Nick Perbix would draw into the lineup if Cernak can't play.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Set to start Wednesday Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off Wednesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll start on the road against Colorado.
Impact Vasilevskiy has earned wins in his last two starts, posting a 0.97 GAA and .971 save percentage over those outings. He'll attempt to stay hot against the Avalanche, who have averaged 3.60 goals per game over 10 contests this year.

Lukas Svejkovsky - Goes on unconditional waivers Svejkovsky was placed on unconditional waivers by Tampa Bay on Tuesday for the purpose of contract termination, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Svejkovsky had one goal in four appearances with AHL Syracuse this season. The 22-year-old forward was acquired in a trade with Pittsburgh in June for Bennett MacArthur.
OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Mitchell Chaffee - Tallies again Monday Chaffee scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Impact Chaffee has scored in back-to-back games and now has three tallies and five points through nine contests overall. The 26-year-old saw 10 seconds of power-play time Monday, but he's still not regularly in the mix with the man advantage. That's about the only complaint one could have with his start to the season, as he's added 13 hits, six shots on net, four PIM and a plus-3 rating while filling a middle-six role.

Jake Guentzel - Two helpers make seven on season Guentzel set up two goals Monday in a 3-2 OT win over Nashville.
Impact The points ended a short two-game drought. Guentzel has nine points, including seven helpers, and 29 shots in nine games. His shooting percentage is a queasy 6.9, which is well below his career mark of 15.0. What does that mean? Well, things tend to trend toward the mean, so expect Guentzel to start scoring goals in bunches.
OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Andrei Vasilevskiy - Difference maker in OT win Vasilevskiy made 35 saves in Monday's 3-2 OT win over the Predators.
Impact Vasilevskiy was the difference maker in the game. He really was - the Preds were all over the Bolts at times. Take out Vasy's three losses to the Sens, Leafs and Wild where he allowed 12 goals, and the big netminder has allowed just seven snipes in his five other games, all wins. Vasilevskiy's ratios are currently impacted by that three-game skid, but we expect his .905 save percentage to up and his 2.53 GAA go down.
OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Brayden Point - Six goals in nine games Point had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 OT loss to the Predators on Monday.
Impact Point has nine points, including six goals, in nine games, and he's put up points in seven of those contests. That's exactly the kind of consistency you need in fantasy, especially head-to-head and weekly formats. His 37.5 shooting percentage is going to regress, but that's OK. Point has scored 97 goals in his last two seasons and recorded at least 90 points in each of those seasons. And that's what we expect for 2024-25.
OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nicholas Paul - Surprising six-game point streak Paul scored the game-winning goal Monday in a 3-2 OT victory over Nashville.
Impact It was a sweet wrist shot from the low slot off a backdoor feed from Jake Guentzel. Paul has quietly put up six points (three goals, three assists) on his current six-game streak. The second line looks good on this guy. Check your wire. Paul won't help on the power play, but you can't ignore his 5-on-5 contributions

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Set to face Nashville Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes for Monday's home matchup against the Predators, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida.
Impact Vasilevskiy ended his three-game losing skid with a 32-save shutout win against Washington on Saturday. He has a 4-3-0 record with a 2.64 GAA and an .896 save percentage through seven outings this season. Nashville has scored 21 goals in eight games this campaign despite leading the league with 35.8 shots per game.
OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Gabriel Fortier - Placed on waivers Fortier (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Fortier had been on the IR after undergoing surgery in the offseason, so the move indicates he's been cleared and likely report to AHL Syracuse. The 24-year-old Fortier figures to spend the bulk of the campaign in the minors.
