TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING NEWS

Gage Goncalves - Elevated from minors Goncalves was called up from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact Goncalves has appeared in four games for the Lightning this season in which he recorded four hits, three shots and one block while being held off the scoresheet. While Brayden Point (lower body) seemed to be trending toward playing against the Penguins on Tuesday, the decision to bring up Goncalves casts doubt on Point's availability.

Impact Point certainly seems to be getting close to play after working with the No. 1 power-play unit at Monday's practice. Fantasy players should probably expect the Calgary native to be deemed a game-time decision ahead of puck drop, but look for him to fill a first-line role whenever he is given the green light to return to the lineup.

Luke Glendening - Playing, not producing Glendening has been held off the scoresheet through the first 16 games of the season.

Impact Glendening has been a fixture in the lineup for the Lightning, averaging 10:45 per game in a fourth-line role. The 35-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 14 blocked shots, 30 hits and a minus-4 rating. He hasn't reached the 20-point mark since 2018-19, but this slow start on offense is rough even by his standards. Glendening produced 11 points over 81 regular-season contests last year.

Darren Raddysh - 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.

Nicholas Paul - 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.

Jake Guentzel - Records pair of helpers Guentzel logged two assists and four shots on goal in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Guentzel logged his second straight multi-point effort and his sixth such performance this season. One of his helpers came on the power play. Guentzel continues to excel in a top-six role in his first year with the Lightning, earning seven goals, 10 assists, 45 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 16 appearances. He often hovers right around a point-per-game pace, so this production is sustainable.

Gage Goncalves - Reassigned to Syracuse Goncalves was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Tampa Bay's next game is Tuesday in Pittsburgh, so there's a chance Goncalves will rejoin the NHL squad if Brayden Point (lower body) can't suit up. The 23-year-old Goncalves has played four games with the Lightning this year, averaging 11:44 of ice time without recording a point.

A few weeks ago, Kucherov was tied for the league lead in points. He'll continue to vie for that title as the season wears on. He's only two points from third overall. Kucherov is an automatic fantasy start.
