Antti Raanta - Shredded for eight goalsRaanta allowed eight goals on just 14 shots in Friday's 8-2 home loss against the Lightning.
ImpactRaanta's stat line looks awful, but to be fair, a lot of the goals weren't entirely his fault. The Lightning took advantage of three penalties to the Hurricanes in the second period, scoring three power-play goals with a 4-minute and 20-second stretch. In the third period, Tampa Bay blitzed Raanta for five goals, and overall he allowed four goals on the man advantage, as the penalty kill was mostly non-existent for the Canes.

Austin Watson - Piles up penalty minutesWatson went scoreless in Friday's 8-2 win against the Hurricanes.
ImpactWatson didn't score any points, but he was very busy. He ended up with a slashing call, a game misconduct for abuse of officials in the second period, and he had another roughing call and game misconduct in the third period. Watson ended up with 26 penalty minutes, and that's his biggest contribution for fantasy managers.

Steven Stamkos - Pushes goal streak to four gamesStamkos scored a goal with an assist in Friday's 8-2 road win against the Hurricanes.
ImpactStamkos opened the scoring for the Lightning in the second period with a power play, and he added a secondary assist on the man advantage on the final goal of the evening. The captain finished with three shots on goal and a hit in 18:05 of ice time, and he won six of his 11 faceoff opportunities. He has scored a goal in four straight games, totaling seven points during the span.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Earns victory in season debutVasilevskiy allowed two goals on 24 shots in Friday's 8-2 in against the Hurricanes.
ImpactVasilevskiy was making his season debut after recovering from offseason back surgery. He actually fell behind 1-0, as Stefan Noesen cleaned up the trash in front of the crease to give Carolina the lead into the first intermission. Tampa Bay's power play erupted for three goals in the first 5:54 of the second period, staking the Big Cat to the lead, and he and the Lightning never looked back.
