Charlie Lindgren - Strong in loss Lindgren made 27 saves in a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

Impact He allowed two goals. It was a sharp start for Lindgren, who is looking to bounce back after an injury-riddled season that made it difficult for him to get into a rhythm in the blue paint. The crease is Logan Thompson's, but Lindgren could get 30 starts if he can continue this momentum.

Justin Sourdif - Goal-scorer's goal in loss Sourdif scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Sourdif slid into the slot and showed off his soft hands when he redirected a slap pass from Jacob Chychrun past Andrei Vasilevskiy. It was a goal scorer's goal for a guy who burst onto the scene last year with a 15-goal, 35-point rookie campaign. Sourdif is currently centering the fourth line, but he could slide into the top nine with continued development.

Charle-Edouard D'Astous - Snipes goal in win D'Astous scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Washington.

Impact D'Astous delivered a surprisingly strong debut season in 2025-26 with 29 points (six goals, 23 assists), 112 PIM, 96 hits and 74 blocks in 70 games last season. He has been a point producer at every level and in every league he's played in, both in North America and Europe, and he's found a way to translate his game into the NHL. D'Astous is behind Victor Hedman and John Carlson on the blue line and power play, but that changes with a single injury.

Impact Lilleberg was hurt early in the third period. The 25-year-old defenseman picked up a helper prior to his exit. The Lightning dressed seven blueliners Saturday, so they'll have some options for their roster if Lilleberg is unavailable Monday versus the Flyers. Defenseman Max Crozier could come in if the team sticks with seven defensemen, or one of Jansen Harkins or Scott Sabourin could get the call instead.
