Matt Tomkins - Starting preseason game Tomkins will patrol the home crease versus the Hurricanes in Tuesday's preseason contest, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Impact Tomkins spent most of last season at AHL Syracuse, posting a 2.53 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 29 games. He also made six appearances with the Lightning, going 3-2-1 with a 3.33 GAA and an .892 save percentage. Barring injuries to Andrei Vasilevskiy or Jonas Johansson, Tomkins should be expected to spend most of 2024-25 in the AHL once again.

Darren Raddysh - Ready to go Raddysh (hip pointer) is healthy at the start of training camp Friday, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.
Impact Raddysh missed the final two games in Tampa Bay's six-game series loss to Florida in the opening round of the 2024 playoffs. Raddysh played in all 82 regular-season contests last year, picking up six goals and 33 points, including a goal and six assists on the power play. Raddysh will likely be a third-pairing blueliner for the Lightning once again in 2024-25.

Conor Geekie - Hoping to win job with big club Geekie had a strong rookie camp and heads into the Lightning training camp hoping to win a job with the big club.
Impact The Bolts haven't had a prospect of Geekie's caliber in years, and the hype train is gathering steam. He has size and skill, and the Bolts will need him to step into a role sooner rather than later. The tale of training camp will determine if Geekie suits up for the Lightning or heads off to the AHL.

Jack Finley - Out until December Finley is dealing with an undisclosed injury and isn't expected to be ready to play until December, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Wednesday.
Impact Finley had 13 goals and 32 points in 52 contests with AHL Syracuse in 2023-24. The 22-year-old is expected to play in the minors once he's healthy.

Gabriel Fortier - Underwent offseason surgery Fortier underwent surgery during the offseason and will be unavailable until December, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com on Wednesday.
Impact Fortier had 13 goals and 26 points in 62 regular-season contests with AHL Syracuse in 2023-24. Once the 24-year-old is healthy, he'll probably play in the minors, though Fortier might get a chance to serve with Tampa Bay at some point before the end of the campaign.

Michael Eyssimont - Targeting mid-October return Eyssimont (lower-body) is not expected to return to action until mid-October, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Wednesday.
Impact At a minimum, Eyssimont shouldn't be expected to suit up for Opening Night against Carolina on Oct. 11, though he could miss closer to 4-5 games depending on his recovery. Without Eyssimont in the lineup, either Mitchell Chaffee or Zemgus Girgensons could start the season on the third line in addition to taking Eyssimont's spot with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Luke Glendening - Battling undisclosed injury Glendening will miss the start of training camp due to an undisclosed injury, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times on Wednesday.
Impact Glendening had 10 goals, 11 points, 39 PIM, 121 hits and 53 blocks in 81 regular-season contests with the Lightning in 2023-24. He'll likely start the campaign on the fourth line if he's healthy.

Michael Eyssimont - Hampered by undisclosed injury Eyssimont is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will limit him at the start of training camp, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports Wednesday.
Impact Eyssimont is coming off a career year in 2023-24 during which he played in a career-best 81 games while also registering personal bests in goals (11), assists (14) and shots (149). The 28-year-old Colorado native should be in the mix for power-play minutes with the No. 2 group this season -- assuming his undisclosed injury doesn't sideline him for too long.
