Janis Moser - NHL News & Rumors

Out 8-10 weeks Moser (lower body) is set to miss the next 8-10 weeks, the Lightning announced Thursday.

Moser has two goals and 10 points in 27 appearances in 2024-25. The Lightning will sometimes dress 11 forward and seven defensemen, but they'll probably stick with 12 forwards and six blueliners for the duration of Moser's absence.

Dealing with lower-body problem Moser is considered week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Tuesday.

Impact Moser was already placed on injured reserve, so his recovery timeline shouldn't come as a surprise. The team did recall Declan Carlile from the minors to provide some defensive depth but could get back Victor Hedman (lower body) against the Jackets on Tuesday. For his part, Moser was poised to reach the 25-point mark for the third straight year and still could if he avoids missing too much time.

Impact The Lightning are already missing Victor Hedman (lower body) and Erik Cernak (lower body), so they can ill afford to be without a third blueliner.

More information on the state of the Tampa Bay blue line will likely be available prior to Saturday's contest.

Impact Moser snapped a five-game point drought with a helper on Nick Paul's third-period tally.

He's up to nine points, 25 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 19 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 24 appearances. That puts him on a similar pace to the 26-point effort he mustered in 80 contests in 2023-24 with the Coyotes.

Sets up game-winning goal Moser registered an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Penguins.

Impact Moser set up Brayden Point's second goal of the game, which came at 3:58 of overtime to complete the comeback win.

He's filling a top-four role, but his slump has recently cost him power-play time, so he's more of a pure defender at this stage of the season.

NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Another three-point game Moser had a goal and two assists in an 8-5 victory over the Devils on Tuesday.

Impact The goal was one of those couldn't-repeat-it-if-you-tried types. Moser scored a shorthanded goal from his own zone on a clearing attempt that deflected in off the boards after Jake Allen went to play the puck behind his net. Moser has six points (two goals, four assists) in six games this season, but his points have come in two contests. Points are points, though, so maybe he should simply buy a lotto ticket.

A career season may be ahead for Moser.
