Grabs apple on power play Raddysh notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Impact Raddysh's four-game point streak ended Tuesday in Montreal, but the 28-year-old defenseman was able to contribute Friday. He helped out on Jake Guentzel's game-tying goal in the final minute of the third period. Raddysh is up to 21 points (six on the power play), 63 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-5 rating over 39 appearances. As long as he's seeing power-play time, he's worth a look in fantasy -- the Lightning are tied for fourth in the league, converting their power-play chances at a 28.3 percent rate.

One of each in win Raddysh generated a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Impact Raddysh helped out on Jake Guentzel's power-play marker before scoring a goal of his own on the man advantage in the middle frame of Saturday's victory. Raddysh added four shots on goal, one hit, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 18:05 of ice time. The right-shot blueliner has points in three consecutive games for the second time in 2024-25. He's provided decent fantasy value on the No. 1 pairing in addition to his spot on the second power-play unit, chipping in two goals, 16 assists and a plus-8 rating through 36 appearances in 2024-25.

Two apples keep doctor away Raddysh put up two assists in a 3-2 win over Carolina on Tuesday.

Impact One of those points came on the power play. Raddysh has 14 points, including 13 assists, in 30 games this season. He's the lone defender on Tampa's second power-play unit, and one of Tuesday's helpers came on the man advantage. Unfortunately, Raddysh isn't a consistent producer in secondary categories (42 shots, 22 blocks, 13 hits), so his fantasy value is limited.

Bags apple in loss Raddysh produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.

Impact Raddysh has five helpers over his last eight contests, and he's posted a plus-7 rating in that span. The 28-year-old blueliner continues to fill a top-four role in place of J.J. Moser (lower body), who is not expected back until late February at the earliest. Raddysh has 12 points, 35 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 26 outings, but fantasy managers should remember he had 33 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, so he could tap into a bit more offense moving forward.

Dishes two assists in loss Raddysh provided a pair of assists and three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Raddysh has four helpers over his last five contests. The 28-year-old continues to fill a larger role with J.J. Moser (lower body) unavailable, with Raddysh now picking up top-four minutes and power-play time on the second unit. The blueliner has 11 points, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 23 appearances. Raddysh is worth a look in deeper fantasy formats -- he was a 33-point producer in 2023-24 and the Lightning have one of the best offenses in the league.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Helpers in consecutive contests Raddysh logged an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Raddysh has a helper in each of the last two games and four of the last seven contests. The defenseman set up Brayden Point's go-ahead goal in the first period. Raddysh figures to see a larger power-play role as long as Victor Hedman (lower body) is out of the lineup. For the season, Raddysh has nine points, 26 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's playing well enough now to see at least steady third-pairing usage at even strength.

Earns power-play assist Raddysh registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flames.

Impact Raddysh was pressed into a larger role Thursday -- Erik Cernak (lower body) was ruled out early in the day, Victor Hedman (lower body) was a late scratch and J.J. Moser (undisclosed) got hurt during the game. Raddysh ended up seeing 23:38 of ice time, easily a season high. He has three helpers over his last six contests, but this was his first power-play point of the year. He earned seven of his 33 points last season with the man advantage. Raddysh is at eight points, 23 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 19 appearances, but he could get a chance to recapture last year's magic if the Lightning's injury woes persist into Saturday's game in Seattle.

Nabs helper in overtime win Raddysh supplied an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact Raddysh has gotten to play regularly in recent games, serving as a seventh defenseman during injury absences for multiple forwards. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to six points, 18 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 14 appearances. Raddysh figures to compete with Nick Perbix and Emil Lilleberg for playing time once the Lightning's roster is closer to fully healthy.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three-game, four-point streak Raddysh picked up two assists in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact Raddysh has delivered points (one goal, three assists) in three consecutive games, and he has five points, including four helpers, in 10 games this season. He's an inconsistent producer, but he did put up 33 points in 82 games in 2023-24. Raddysh has potential, but this surge could easily become a slide in very short order. And his category coverage is weak (six blocks, two hits, 12 shots). Use him in daily if you need to fill a seat, but don't over-invest.

Lights lamp in win Raddysh scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact The Lightning have opted to dress seven defensemen over the last two games, and it's helped Raddysh to get in the lineup after being scratched for seven of the previous nine contests. He has a point in each of his last two outings, including a third-period goal Saturday. Raddysh is at three points, nine shots on net, six blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over nine appearances. He often plays on the second power-play unit when in the lineup, but Raddysh may lose his spot once Brayden Point (lower body) returns.

Pockets helper Thursday Raddysh supplied an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Raddysh has had trouble getting in the lineup when the Lightning aren't dressing seven defensemen. The 28-year-old hasn't helped his cause -- he has just five blocked shots and a minus-2 rating to go with two assists and seven shots on net over eight appearances. He's played in just three of the Lightning's last 10 contests, and he could exit the lineup again once Brayden Point (lower body) is ready to return.

Earns assist in win Raddysh logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Raddysh will get his looks since he continues to see power-play time despite a bottom-four role at even strength. The defenseman was a surprise last year when he produced six goals and 33 points in 82 regular-season contests. It wouldn't be a shock to see him regress closer to the 25-point mark in 2024-25 unless he's able to secure more consistent ice time.

Ready to go Raddysh (hip pointer) is healthy at the start of training camp Friday, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

Impact Raddysh missed the final two games in Tampa Bay's six-game series loss to Florida in the opening round of the 2024 playoffs. Raddysh played in all 82 regular-season contests last year, picking up six goals and 33 points, including a goal and six assists on the power play. Raddysh will likely be a third-pairing blueliner for the Lightning once again in 2024-25.

Ends season on injured list Raddysh was dealing with a hip pointer when the Bolts were eliminated from the postseason, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Wednesday.

Impact Raddysh was out of the lineup for Tampa Bay's final two contests due to his hip injury. Unless the 28-year-old Toronto native requires surgery, he should be ready to play when training camp opens in the fall. Whether he is at camp with the Lightning remains to be seen, as Raddysh will hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Out Monday Raddysh (undisclosed) is not in Monday's Game 5 lineup against Florida, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Raddysh has now missed two straight games but it's unclear what he's dealing with. The 28-year-old racked up 12 hits while averaging 17:06 of ice time through the first three games this series. Max Crozier is expected to suit up again Monday.

Deemed day-to-day Raddysh (undisclosed) is listed as day-to-day, per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

Impact Raddysh didn't play Saturday in Game 4 after averaging 17:06 of ice time in the series' first three games. Emil Lilleberg and Max Crozier will likely fill out Tampa Bay's bottom pairing if Raddysh can't play Monday in Game 5.
