Darren Raddysh - NHL News & Rumors

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.

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 • 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.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 29 • ROTOWIRE

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.

APRIL 28 • ROTOWIRE

Collects helper Tuesday Raddysh notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Raddysh has a goal and six helpers over his last four contests, though a five-assist game versus the Flyers on March 9 pumped up his recent numbers. The 28-year-old is still in a top-four role for the Lightning, though his ice time has often fluctuated significantly. He's produced 28 points, 83 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 62 hits and a minus-7 rating through 68 appearances. His role on the second power-play unit creates some appeal for Raddysh in deeper fantasy formats.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Team-record five-assist game Raddysh had an NHL career-high five assists in a 7-0 win over the Flyers on Saturday.

Impact It was a pinch-me game for Raddysh, who tied Mark Recchi (March 1, 2009) and Martin St. Louis (Nov. 18, 2010) for the most assists in a game by a Lightning player. The defender had one assist in his previous 11 games. What a night. Raddysh is on track to top 30 points, so his value is limited. But watch him for 2024-25.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist in loss Raddysh posted an assist in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Islanders.

Impact Raddysh set up a Nikita Kucherov tally in the first period. Over the last 10 games, Raddysh has provided two goals and five helpers while seeing top-four usage. The 27-year-old should continue in that role with Mikhail Sergachev (leg) out for the rest of the regular season at a minimum. Raddysh has 19 points (two on the power play), 65 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 46 hits and a minus-6 rating through 52 appearances, which is strong enough all-around production to help in deeper fantasy formats.

Big night in win Raddysh scored two goals, including the game winner, in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Well, well - the 27-year-old defender entered the game with a single goal (April 5) in 60 career NHL games. Raddysh's first put the Bolts up 1-0 early in the second, popping in a rebound with a backhander from in front of the net. And his second was a wraparound less than three minutes later. Raddysh isn't an offensive type, but he deserved every accolade for Thursday's effort.
