Lightning visit the Penguins after Paul's 2-goal game

The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the Pittsburgh Penguins after Nicholas Paul scored two goals in the Lightning's 7-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens
APRIL 5, 2024 • Associated Press
Matt Tomkins - Plays Habs slayer Tomkins made 27 saves in a 7-4 win in Montreal on Thursday.
Impact It was his first start since Nov. 7, when he got his first NHL victory also over Montreal on the road. Tompkins is not a viable fantasy option right now, but it's a great story for the 29-year-old journeyman who will someday be able to tell his grandchildren that he was a Hab-slayer.
APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Eyssimont - So close to Gordie Howe hat trick Eyssimont had a goal and an assist Thursday in a 7-4 victory over the Canadiens. He also picked up four PIM.
Impact His goal was pure determination and the epitome of never giving up. Eyssimont pushed the game to 2-1 in the first period when he drove the net and jammed the puck off Cayden Primeau's stick and up-and-over the netminder. And his PIM came in the third when he mistakenly thought that Arber Xhekaj was the cause of Brandon Hagel's injury and chased him down to throw fists. But Xhekaj was an innocent bystander when Steven Stamkos slammed an unsuspecting Hagel. It's a great demonstration of why Eyssimont is a fabulous teammate -- he stands up for his guys, and he came within a referee's discretion of a Gordie Howe hat trick. The goal was his 11th of the season.
APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nicholas Paul - Continues to pad career marks Paul scored two goals Thursday in a 7-4 win over Montreal.
Impact His first came on the power play when he slapped home a loose puck off a rebound to tie the score 1-1 in the first. Paul pushed it to 4-2 in the second period when he ripped a shot from the slot that beat Cayden Primeau glove high. He has put up 22 goals and 42 points in 76 games this season to sit fifth in scoring for the Bolts. Paul's nine PPG put him fourth on the team. Paul has blown the proverbial doors off after two consecutive 32-point seasons, his previous career mark.

APRIL 5, 2024 • TAMPABAY.COM
Tyler Motte - Snaps 12-game point drought Motte picked up an assist Thursday in a 7-4 win over the Canadiens.
Impact He snapped a month-long (12-game) point drought with the apple. Motte is a character player with speed and agility, but his scoring touch from his amateur days hasn't manifested itself in the NHL. The 29-year-old has only nine points (six goals, three assists) and 82 shots in 66 contests.
APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Steven Stamkos - Four-game, five-goal streak Stamkos had two goals and an assist in a 7-4 victory over Montreal on Thursday.
Impact His first was wicked one-timer from the bottom of the left face-off circle on a cross-ice feed, and his second went into an empty net. His goal streak stands at four games and six points, and it includes five goals. With the goals, Stamkos continues to climb the all-time goals list. He has vaulted over Michel Goulet, who played for the Nordiques and Blackhawks, and is now tied with Ron Francis for 30th all time with 549. It took Francis 1,731 games to get to that total, while Stamkos has achieved it in just 1,076.

Nikita Kucherov - Second straight three-point game Kucherov put up a goal and two assists Thursday in a 7-4 won over Montreal.
Impact It was Kucherov's second straight three-point game and 21st of the season. He extended his NHL-leading point total to 133 (43 goals, 90 assists). Kucherov also leads the NHL with 47 power-play points, three ahead of Nathan MacKinnnon. But Mack is in hot pursuit of both the overall lead and the power-play tally. The Art Ross Trophy title is going to come right down to the wire.

Brandon Hagel - Can't finish contest Hagel (undisclosed) exited Thursday's game versus the Canadiens in the third period and did not return. Per head coach Jon Cooper, there's no update on his status after the game
Impact Hagel scored a goal on five shots prior to his exit Thursday, giving him his first 70-point season. The winger was run into by teammate Steven Stamkos midway through the third, but it's possible the Lightning took precautionary measures here since they were in firm control of the game. Hagel should be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game in Pittsburgh.
APRIL 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Cirelli - Departs Thursday's game Cirelli (undisclosed) left Thursday's game late in the second period, and head coach Jon Cooper didn't have an update on his status after the contest, per Bally Sports Florida.
Impact Cooper said Cirelli got dinged up in the game, and mentioned that it may have been more on the precautionary side. The center's status for Saturday in Pittsburgh is up in the air, but there's no reason to think it's anything worse than day-to-day at this time. Cirelli had two assists Thursday and is now at 43 points through 75 outings overall.
