Slings helper Thursday Lilleberg notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Impact Lilleberg has been a rotational option on defense for the Lightning, though he could stick in the lineup if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) misses time after exiting Thursday's game. Through 11 appearances, Lilleberg has three assists, four shots on net, 16 hits, eight blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating. He'll likely see bottom-four usage when he plays.

Strong game but little support Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to Philadelphia on Thursday.

Impact The loss wasn't on him -- his teammates need to put a few goals on the board, especially against the poor-performing Flyers. Vasilevskiy is 0-2-1 since winning his 299th NHL game on Oct. 30 against the Avalanche. The team doesn't play again for a week, so Vasy will next get a chance to hit the 300-win mark next Thursday at home agains the Jets.

Five-game, nine-point streak Kucherov scored a goal Thursday in a 2-1 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Impact He opened the scoring in the last minute of the first period with a wraparound goal. It was the Bolts' only goal. Kucherov has nine points (three goals, six assists) during a five-game point streak, but we're sure he'd give up that streak to end the Bolts' four-game losing streak.

Leaves game after blocked shot Cernak did not return to Thursday's game versus the Flyers after blocking a shot in the second period, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact There was no update on Cernak's status after the game. The 27-year-old's heavily defensive playing style often leads to him needing attention at times during games. He'll have the benefit of an extended break in the schedule for the Lightning -- their next game is next Thursday versus the Jets.
