Mikhail Sergachev - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Notches helper in return Sergachev (leg) picked up an assist and added two blocked shots and a hit in 17:03 of ice time during Game 4's 6-3 win over the Panthers on Saturday.

Impact Seeing his first game action since fracturing his left leg in multiple places Feb. 7, Sergachev's surprising and early return gave the Lightning an emotional boost and helped them avoid getting swept out of the first round. The 25-year-old blueliner didn't see his usual workload, but that's to be expected given his long layoff. He'll likely see similar ice time Monday in Game 5.

Surprise return Saturday Sergachev (leg) was activated off long-term injured reserve, per the NHL media site, which sets him up to return for Game 4 against Florida on Saturday.

Impact Sergachev was previously ruled out for the entire first round, so this news is a huge surprise. However, Tampa Bay is down 3-0 in the series, so if the defenseman didn't come back now, then it might have been too late. He had two goals, 19 points, 36 hits and 70 blocks in 34 regular-season appearances. While Sergachev typically serves in a top-four capacity, his minutes might be limited in his first contest since February 7.

Won't be back for Round 1 Sergachev (leg) won't be available for the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Sergachev, who took part in Monday's practice, underwent surgery in early February to stabilize fractures to the tibia and fibula in his left leg. Head coach Jon Cooper is encouraged by Sergachev's progress but acknowledged that the Lightning may need to win a round or two in the postseason before the 25-year-old defender is available to return to the lineup. In 34 contests during the 2023-24 campaign, Sergachev posted two goals, 19 points and 53 shots on net.

Lightning's Mikhail Sergachev has surgery on leg, out indefinitely The procedure stabilized fractures in his tibia and fibula, and the timetable for his return is uncertain.

FEBRUARY 8 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Goes under knife Thursday Sergachev underwent surgery to repair a fractured tibia and fibula in his left leg Thursday.

Impact Sergachev was just one game back from a previous lower-body injury that sidelined him for 17 games before being stretchered off the ice against the Rangers on Wednesday. While the team didn't offer a specific recovery timeline for the blueliner, he is probably facing 6-8 weeks on the shelf before he can even begin skating. At this point, Sergachev will almost certainly be placed on long-term injured reserve in the coming days and might not return before the start of the playoffs. Darren Raddysh figures to see an increased role with the man advantage while Sergachev is sidelined.

FEBRUARY 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hurt versus Rangers Sergachev needed to be stretchered off the ice after sustaining an apparent left leg injury Wednesday versus the Rangers, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sergachev's return from a 17-game absence was cut short when he went down following a reverse hit from Alexis Lafreniere. The fact that Sergachev needed to be stretchered off is not a good sign, though it's unclear if the Lightning will have an update on his status following the contest. Calvin de Haan or Haydn Fleury could fill in if Sergachev is forced to miss time again.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Wednesday Sergachev (lower body) will be activated off the long-term injured reserve and play Wednesday versus the Rangers, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Sergachev has two goals, 19 points, 53 shots, 30 hits and 69 blocks in 33 contests in 2023-24. He hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 19 because of the injury. Erik Cernak (upper body) is also expected to return Wednesday and might serve as Sergachev's partner on the second pairing. Defensemen Calvin de Haan and Haydn Fleury are projected to be healthy scratches.

Not expected back before All-Star break Sergachev (lower body) isn't expected to be back until after the All-Star break, with a potential target date for his return being Feb. 7 versus the Rangers, Erik Erlendsson of Lig...

Impact It sounds like Sergachev, who's already missed 11 games, will likely be sidelined for at least six more contests with his lower-body issue. Emil Martinsen Lilleberg will likely stick with the big club until Sergachev, who's picked up 19 points through 33 contests this season, is ready to return.

JANUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Placed on long-term injured reserve Sergachev (lower body) was put on long-term injured reserve Thursday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Impact Sergachev was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but the Lightning needed cap space to recall defensemen Sean Day and Declan Carlile from AHL Syracuse. Sergachev will be eligible to return as early as Jan. 13 versus Anaheim. Sergachev has missed the last six games after he was injured Dec. 19 versus St. Louis. He has two goals and 17 assists in 33 games this season.

JANUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on injured reserve Sergachev (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

Impact Sergachev has been out since Dec. 21, and he'll finally land on injured reserve, presumably to give the Lightning an extra roster spot. The team is dealing with an injury crisis on the blue line, as Erik Cernak (upper body) and Haydn Fleury (hand) are also unavailable. Sergachev can be activated whenever he is available to play.

Won't play versus Jets Sergachev (lower body) will not be in the lineup against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Sergachev missed the last five games for the Lightning and is set to be out of action for at least one more due to his lower-body issue. With Erik Cernak (upper body) also unavailable, the Bolts are expected to role with just five blueliners in Tuesday's contest.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Sunday Sergachev (lower body) won't play Sunday versus the Canadiens, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Sergachev will miss his fifth straight game with the injury. His absence allows Haydn Fleury to draw another game in a bottom-four role, while Darren Raddysh continues to soak up most of Sergachev's power-play time. The Lightning's next game is Tuesday versus the Jets.
