GAME LOG
Jonas Johansson - Out Tuesday Johansson (lower body) will be out Tuesday when the Lightning host Columbus, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.
Impact Johansson has started 26 games for the Lightning this season, recording an .890 save percentage and a 12-7-5 record. The 28-year-old will look to get healthy for the Lightning's playoff run to serve as Andrei Vasilevskiy's backup. He will likely sit out the last five games to make sure he's good to go for the playoffs.
APRIL 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Tanner Jeannot - Good to go Jeannot (upper body) is expected to return to action Tuesday versus Columbus, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Impact Jeannot should slot into a fourth-line role following his two-game absence. He's picked up 13 points and a whopping 198 hits through 50 contests this season.
APRIL 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Cirelli - Back at it Cirelli (upper body) is on track to return to action against Columbus on Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Impact Cirelli is expected to return to a featured role following his one-game absence, skating on the second line and second power-play unit versus the Blue Jackets. He was on a roll prior to his brief absence, racking up four goals and seven points through his last six games.
APRIL 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Haydn Fleury - Out Tuesday Fleury (undisclosed) Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com when the Lightning host Columbus.
Impact Fleury has played in 24 games for the Lightning this season, recording one goal and four assists to go along with 25 shots on goal. The 27-year-old will look to get healthy for the playoffs as the Lightning have already clinched. He will likely be slotted into the third defensive pairing when he returns to action.
APRIL 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Andrei Vasilevskiy - Starting Tuesday Vasilevsky was spotted leaving the ice first and will start at home against Columbus on Tuesday, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.
Impact Vasilevsky struggled in his last start allowing five goals on 28 shots in a 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. The 29-year-old has been good this year but shockingly he has the lowest save percentage in his career at .900 and a record of 29-18-2 in 49 starts. He will have a favorable matchup against Columbus who's 7-11-6 on the road.

Mikhail Sergachev - Won't be back for Round 1 Sergachev (leg) won't be available for the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
Impact Sergachev, who took part in Monday's practice, underwent surgery in early February to stabilize fractures to the tibia and fibula in his left leg. Head coach Jon Cooper is encouraged by Sergachev's progress but acknowledged that the Lightning may need to win a round or two in the postseason before the 25-year-old defender is available to return to the lineup. In 34 contests during the 2023-24 campaign, Sergachev posted two goals, 19 points and 53 shots on net.

Victor Hedman - Three helpers in loss Hedman picked up three assists, two on t he power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The 33-year-old blueliner is having an impressive finish to the season. Over the last 12 games, Hedman has racked up three goals and 14 points, and the surge has carried him up to 75 points on the season -- the second-highest total of his career after the 85 he compiled in 2021-22.
APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Stamkos - Lights lamp twice in loss Stamkos scored two power-play goals in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Penguins.
Impact His second tally midway through the third period tied the game at 4-4 as the Lightning surged back from a 4-1 deficit to begin the final frame, but they could never find a go-ahead goal. Stamkos extended his goal streak to five games, and with five games left on the schedule for Tampa Bay, the 34-year-old is four goals away from his seventh career 40-goal campaign.
APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nikita Kucherov - Three helpers in Pittsburgh Kucherov picked up three assists, two on the power play, in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Penguins.
Impact The 30-year-old winger has his sights set on the Art Ross Trophy. Kucherov has reeled off three straight three-point performances and has failed to get onto the scoresheet only once in the last 20 games, erupting for seven goals and 42 points over that stretch. He leads the NHL scoring race with 136 points (43 goals, 93 assists), putting him five points up on Nathan MacKinnon and six points clear of Connor McDavid.
APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Andrei Vasilevskiy - Iced by Penguins Vasilevskiy made 23 saves in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact The Lightning never led in the game, and a three-goal rally to tie it up in the third period went for naught when Evgeni Malkin made a fantastic play to tip the puck over to Michael Bunting for the game-winning tally past a sprawling Vasilevskiy. The 29-year-old netminder has gone 9-3-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .911 save percentage since the beginning of March as he gears up for the playoffs.
