Gage Goncalves - Produces assist Sunday Goncalves notched an assist and three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Goncalves has four points and five shots on net over his last seven outings. The 24-year-old has emerged as a decent depth scorer, but he's not doing it consistently enough to be a factor in standard fantasy formats. For the season, the forward has 13 points, 42 shots on net, 54 hits and a plus-1 rating across 48 appearances.

Darren Raddysh - Hands out helper in loss Raddysh notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Raddysh is still a scratch on occasion, but he's been excellent when in the lineup in March. He has two goals and seven assists over 11 appearances this month. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 32 points -- one shy of matching his career high from 2023-24 -- and he's added 99 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 61 contests.

Brandon Hagel - Keeps rolling in March Hagel logged a power-play assist and six shots on net in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Hagel has three goals and seven assists over 12 outings in March after helping out on a Nikita Kucherov tally late in Sunday's loss. The 26-year-old Hagel set a new career high with his helper in Saturday's defeat at Utah, and he's now at 32 goals, 45 helpers, 77 points, 203 shots on net, 51 hits, 51 blocked shots, 50 PIM and a plus-26 rating over 70 appearances. Hagel's earned nine of his helpers on the power play, and he also has a career-best seven shorthanded points as one of the Lightning's best all-situations forwards.

Victor Hedman - Adds power-play assist Hedman logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Hedman had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games. That drought almost reached four, but he was able to help out on a Nikita Kucherov just before the third-period buzzer. The 34-year-old Hedman is up to 54 points (22 on the power play), 158 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 67 appearances. It's likely his best seasons have already happened, but Hedman remains a formidable scoring force from the blue line, especially as the quarterback of the Lightning's top-five power play, which is clicking at 25.8 percent this season.

Nick Paul - Spoils shutout bid Paul scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Paul got the Lightning on the board late in the second period, ending a shutout bid for Ilya Samsonov. This hasn't been Paul's strongest month, but he's managed three goals and three assists over 12 outings in March. All of that production has come with a shrinking role on the second power-play unit. The 30-year-old has been decent this year with 38 points, 119 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-9 rating over 64 appearances. He's running out of time to challenge his career-best 46 points from the 2023-24 regular season, but a return to the 40-point mark is still within reach.

Nikita Kucherov - Pots goal No. 30 Kucherov scored a power-play goal on six shots, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Kucherov was able to take away a consolation prize from this game, earning his 30th goal of the campaign late in the third period. The 31-year-old winger has reached that level in eight of the last 10 seasons and missed it by just one goal in 2014-15. He was five goals short of the mark in just 47 appearances in 2021-22 as well, coming off missing all of the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign. Kucherov has been nothing short of excellent again this year, earning 98 points (38 on the power play), 225 shots on net and a plus-12 rating across 66 appearances.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Allows three goals in loss Vasilevskiy stopped 26 of 29 shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The score was closer than the game actually was, as the Lightning's second tally was late in the third period. Vasilevskiy did what he could, but with Tampa Bay on the second half of a road back-to-back, they didn't have the legs to match Vegas. This ended a three-game winning streak for Vasilevskiy, who also allowed three or more goals for the fourth time in his last nine outings. He's at a 33-19-3 record with a 2.25 GAA and a .919 save percentage over a league-leading 55 starts. Vasilevskiy will likely continue to see a heavy workload until the crowded Atlantic Division standings are sorted out -- the Lightning are still in contention for the top of the division, but they're four points back of the Panthers with a game in hand. The Lightning return home for three games over the next week, beginning with Tuesday's matchup against the Penguins.

Ryan McDonagh - Stays warm with helper McDonagh logged an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Utah.

Impact McDonagh has four assists over his last eight games. He avoided a serious injury after taking a puck to the head Thursday versus the Stars, and he logged 19:45 of ice time Saturday. The defenseman is seeing time on the second power-play unit as well as the second pairing at even strength. He's had a decent year with 23 points, a plus-36 rating, 67 shots on net and 134 blocked shots over 69 appearances.

Nick Perbix - Gathers helper Perbix provided an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Utah.

Impact The helper snapped an 11-game point drought for Perbix. The 26-year-old has played in seven straight games since he was a healthy scratch twice earlier in March. Emil Lilleberg was out of the lineup Saturday, but Perbix and Darren Raddysh have also been sent to the press box on occasion. Perbix has limited fantasy appeal with just 15 points to go with 56 shots on net, 56 blocked shots, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating across 61 outings this season.

Oliver Bjorkstrand - Snags assist Saturday Bjorkstrand logged a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Utah.

Impact Bjorkstrand snapped a six-game point drought when he helped out on a Brayden Point tally late in the first period. The 29-year-old Bjorkstrand has filled a middle-six role since he was traded to the Lightning from the Kraken, but he has just two points over nine appearances with his new team. For the season, he's at 39 points, 133 shots on net, 68 hits and a minus-3 rating over 69 contests. His ice time is down by more than a minute per game following the trade, which speaks to the Lightning's much stronger forward depth, which could make it tough for Bjorkstrand to be consistent on offense.

Anthony Cirelli - Hits 50-point plateau this season Cirelli scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 loss to Utah.

Impact Cirelli is heating up at the right time for fantasy managers who are locked in playoff battles. He has three points, including two goals, in his last two games, and four goals (five points) in his last four. Cirelli's goal Saturday was his 24th of the season and 50th point. He might be able to hit the 60-point plateau this season if he can carry a bit of heat over the next few weeks. That would help fantasy managers make a late-season run.

Jake Guentzel - Big three-point effort in loss Guentzel had a goal and two assists in a 6-4 loss to Utah on Saturday.

Impact Guentzel has 34 goals and 33 assists (187 shots) in 68 games in his first year with the Bolts. He's now within one goal of tying Dino Ciccarelli (35; 1996-97) for the second-most goals by a player in his first season with Tampa Bay. It would take a real push for him to best Brian Bradley, who tops the list with 42 (1992-93), but never say never.

Brayden Point - Snaps eight-game goal drought Point scored twice Saturday in a 6-4 loss to Utah.

Impact His first came on the power play; the second was at even strength. Point had gone eight games without a snipe, but his 34 on the season put him in a four-player tie for sixth overall in the NHL. Point still has a shot at a 40-goal season. If he does that, it would be his third consecutive season hitting that mark and fourth time in his career.

Brandon Halverson - First NHL start Halverson made 19 saves in a 6-4 loss to Utah on Saturday. He allowed five goals.

Impact It was his first NHL start, and the loss wasn't on him. As Bolts' coach Jon Cooper said in the post-game scrum, Halverson's teammates simply didn't play well enough in front of their netminder, especially against a gritty team that's hungry to claw their way to a wild card spot. Halverson will be with the Bolts under Jonas Johansson (personal) returns to the squad. He may not get another start, but at least he lived out his dream. Halverson had made one appearance in relief several seasons ago, but he'd never seen his name in the starting lineup until Saturday.
