GAME LOG

INJURIES

Three-point outburst Paul had a goal and two assists in a 5-3 win over Columbus on Tuesday.
Impact It was a big night for Paul, who started the season with an outstanding October (nine points in 10 games), but had struggled to rebound after missing time with an injury. This game snapped a four-game scoreless streak. Paul is a decent mid-level fantasy contributor in deep formats, that is if this game signals a return to his potential. He won't often put up big games, but he can deliver secondary scoring.

Impact Paul returned from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, and he logged 19:07 in the blowout win, which suggests he'll have no limitations moving forward. The 29-year-old has been effective for the Lightning in a middle-six role this season. He's at six goals, 14 points, 30 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating through 18 appearances.

Set to return Thursday Paul (undisclosed) will be available for Thursday's home game against the Sharks, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Impact Paul missed the Lightning's last six games due to an undisclosed injury, but head coach Jon Cooper confirmed that the 29-year-old will be back in action against San Jose. Paul got off to a hot start this season, tallying five goals, 13 points and 19 hits while averaging 16:24 of ice time per game over his first 17 appearances.

Won't play again in November Paul (undisclosed) is expected to miss at least another week, ruling him out for the Bolts' next four games, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Monday.
Impact It's a tough week for Paul to be sidelined with an injury considering Tampa Bay has four games this week, all of which the winger will miss, before playing just twice the following week. After a blazing start to the season saw the Ontario native rack up 11 points in the first 12 games, he has been limited to just two points in his previous five contests prior to getting hurt. Without Paul in the lineup, the team has been utilizing seven defensemen and could continue to do so over the next four games.

Out Saturday Paul (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Dallas, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.
Impact Paul is set to miss his second straight game. He has five goals and 13 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Tampa Bay is set to dress seven defensemen Saturday, including Darren Raddysh, who was a healthy scratch Thursday. Paul's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Avalanche.

Ruled out versus Jackets Paul (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against Columbus on Thursday after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "He will be out tonight so we will reevaluate him in Tampa whe...
Impact Paul will be sidelined for the first time this season, having played in all 17 games for the Bolts. In those outings, the 29-year-old winger has notched five goals, eight assists and 25 shots while averaging 16:24 of ice time. As long as Paul doesn't spend a significant chunk of time on the shelf, he should be capable of reaching both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds for the second consecutive campaign.
NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Puts up helper Paul notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
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.

Surprising six-game point streak Paul scored the game-winning goal Monday in a 3-2 OT victory over Nashville.
Impact It was a sweet wrist shot from the low slot off a backdoor feed from Jake Guentzel. Paul has quietly put up six points (three goals, three assists) on his current six-game streak. The second line looks good on this guy. Check your wire. Paul won't help on the power play, but you can't ignore his 5-on-5 contributions

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. He's up to two goals, three assists, four penalty minutes, 10 shots and eight hits in his five contests while seeing consistent ice time as a middle-six forward and a member of the second power-play unit.

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.
