Zemgus Girgensons - Ends regular season in skid Girgensons was held off the scoresheet for the 17th game in a row in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Girgensons' offensive futility is nothing new this year -- he ends his first regular season with the Lightning with a career-low six points, less than half as many points as he had in his next-worst season. He added 83 shots on net, 174 hits, 50 blocked shots, 47 PIM and a minus-7 rating over 82 appearances. The Lightning aren't at full strength up front entering the playoffs, so Girgensons should be able to stick in a bottom-six role, and his physical play will be a benefit with the uptick in intensity of postseason play.

Jonas Johansson - Gets no help from teammates Johansson made 19 saves Thursday in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Johansson ended the year with 9-6-3 record, one shutout, 3.13 GAA and .895 save percentage. Barring a catastrophe, he won't see ice again this year. Something will have gone seriously off the rails for the Bolts and Andrei Vasilevskiy this postseason if Johansson is in the blue paint.
