NICHOLAS PAUL NEWS

Leaves Tuesday's game Paul left Tuesday's game versus the Penguins with an undisclosed injury, and there wasn't an update on his status, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Paul will be evaluated further Wednesday. The 29-year-old left midway through Tuesday's contest, logging 10:38 of ice time with three shots on goal and one hit. If Paul can't play Thursday against the Blue Jackets, Cam Atkinson or Nick Perbix could enter the lineup.

Tallies in shutout win Paul scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Paul has four points over six games in November. The 29-year-old forward is up to five goals, eight helpers, 22 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating through 16 appearances this season. That's a pace that would put him over the 50-point mark for the first time in his career. Paul is handling a second-line role and a spot on the second power-play unit and looks like a good fit there and as a depth forward in fantasy.

Impact Paul was held off the scoresheet in back-to-back games prior to Thursday, the first time that's happened to him all season. The 29-year-old isn't a flashy scorer, but he has been consistent while seeing second-line minutes. He's up to four goals, eight helpers, 21 shots on net, 17 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 15 contests in 2024-25.

Scores late in loss Paul scored a goal and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Paul's six-game point streak ended Wednesday in Colorado, but he's still been a pleasant surprise in a middle-six role this season. The 29-year-old's goal Friday cut the Wild's lead to 4-3 late in the third period, but the Lightning were unable to tie the game. He has produced four goals, six assists, 17 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances this year. Paul is an effective secondary scorer who can chip in shots and hits, but he's unlikely to be consistent on offense throughout the full campaign.

Nets goal Monday Paul scored an even-strength goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Paul has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's found a way to crack the scoresheet in all but one of his five appearances so far.

Scores in Saturday's loss Paul scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

Impact Paul picked up his first goal and fourth point of the season when he tied the game at 2-2 midway through the second period. The 29-year-old continues to play in a middle-six role. He's added eight shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over four contests. A point-per-game pace is too much to expect from Paul, but he can chip in decent depth scoring and hits, giving him fantasy value in deeper formats.

Nabs power-play assist Paul recorded a power-play assist and two hits in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Impact Paul was on the second line in the season opener, earning 17:34 of ice time. It's similar usage to what he's seen in previous campaigns.

He can also chip in 100-plus hits while seeing time on the second power-play unit, which makes him a viable depth option in fantasy.
