Impact Jeannot has played in just one of Tampa Bay's last 26 games due to two separate injuries, including this latest lower-body problem. The winger hasn't scored since Dec. 6 against the Penguins, a stretch of 15 games without a tally. Once given the all-clear, Jeannot should be in contention for a spot in the bottom six, likely relegating Mitchell Chaffee to a bench role.

Impact Jeannot has missed 23 out of 24 games because of a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old has been a solid depth piece for Tampa Bay, registering six goals and six assists in 42 games played. He will look to return Saturday when Tampa Bay starts a five-game road trip against the Panthers.

Surfaces on IR Jeannot (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per CapFriendly.

Facing another week out Jeannot (undisclosed) is expected to miss at least another week of action. Coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "He's probably going to be out like another week or so and then we can m...

Impact Jeannot was just one game back from a 12-game absence and now finds himself shelved once again. Given his projected recovery timeline, Jeannot is slated to be out of action for the next three contests, at minimum, though it could certainly be longer. Alex Barre-Boulet should see more minutes without Jeannot in the lineup.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Injured again Jeannot (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day and won't play Thursday versus the Avalanche, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Jeannot returned from a 12-game absence Tuesday against Boston only to suffer another injury that will cost him additional time.

Jeannot's picked up 12 points, 61 PIM and a whopping 146 hits through 42 contests this season.

Impact Jeannot, who will return from a 12-game absence, is slated to play on the fourth line and work on the second power-play unit in Tuesday's contest. He has accounted for six goals, six assists, 61 PIM and 161 hits in 41 appearances this campaign.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to LTIR Jeannot (lower body) was transferred to long-term injured reserve on Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Jeannot has already met the requirements of missing 10 games and 24 days, so this is simply a paper move to free up the cap space to activate Mikhail Sergachev (lower body). Jeannot is reportedly on the Lightning's four-game road trip and could play toward the end of the trip, at which point additional moves would be needed for the team to stay cap compliant.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Making trip with team Jeannot (lower body) will travel with the Lightning for their four-game road trip but won't be an option at first, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Monday.

Impact Jeannot figures to sit out the Bolts' back-to-back before being in the mix for a spot in the lineup. Before his nine-game stint on injured reserve, the 26-year-old forward was stuck in a rut with a 14-game goal drought during which he registered just 14 shots to go with two helpers. Once cleared to play, Jeannot figures to replace Alex Barre-Boulet or Mitchell Chaffee for a spot in the lineup.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Shifted to IR Jeannot (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Impact Jeannot's designation for IR comes as Erik Cernak (upper body) was injured against New Jersey on Thursday. With the available roster spot from Jeannot, the Lightning recalled Max Crozier from the minors, though it is Philippe Myers who is more likely to slot into the lineup versus Anaheim on Saturday.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Facing extended absence Jeannot (lower body) didn't practice Monday and could be facing a week-to-week absence, according to Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Jeannot, who was injured in Saturday's 7-3 loss to Boston, is still being evaluated to determine an exact timeline for his return. He has produced six goals, 12 points, 61 PIM, 52 shots on net and 132 hits in 41 games this season. Alex Barre-Boulet is projected to play on third line and work on the second power-play unit in Tuesday's contest against the Kings.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Can't finish contest Jeannot sustained an upper-body injury in the second period of Saturday's game versus the Bruins, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Jeannot was injured on a hit behind the net from Trent Frederic. There was no update on Jeannot's status after the contest, so it's unclear if he'll be able to play Tuesday versus the Kings. Austin Watson or Alex Barre-Boulet could rejoin the lineup if Jeannot misses time.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Hit machine continues Jeannot has 18 hits and one assist in his last seven games.

Impact Jeannot is skating as the Bolts third-line pivot, and his abrasiveness is keeping opponents generally honest. He has 12 points in 32 games so far, which is a 27-point campaign if he keeps going at his current pace. Jeannot may never replicate his outstanding scoring from his rookie season (24 goals, 41 points). But he should come close to his muscle points from that year (130 PIM, 318 hits). There's room for that in specialty leagues.

Nabs helper Saturday Jeannot posted an assist, three hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Jeannot helped out on an Anthony Cirelli goal in the first period. The 26-year-old Jeannot hadn't recorded an assist since Nov. 9, picking up four goals over 14 games in that span. The winger is up to 11 points, 39 shots on net, 52 PIM, 101 hits and a minus-7 rating through 29 contests. He's on track for a better scoring season than his 18-point effort in 2022-23, which adds a little more value to his agitator style.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sandpaper man gets goal Jeannot scored a goal Saturday in a 6-4 win over the Oilers.

Impact It was a sharp one-timer early in the third off a pass from Michael Eyssimont. It was Jeannot's first goal in nine games and his third of the season. He has found it hard to replicate his rookie success (41 points, including 24 goals, in 81 games; 2021-22), but it's important to note that his shooting percentage is at 11.1. That's a huge improvement from his 5.6 (combined) from last season. Jeannot isn't a high-end scorer, but there's fantasy value in a sandpaper guy who's on pace for 30 points, 130 PIM and 330 hits.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets two points vs. Seattle Jeannot collected a goal and an assist in a 4-3 overtime loss to Seattle on Monday.

Impact Jeannot snapped his four-game scoring drought. Despite that slump, he's off to a solid start, providing two goals and five points through nine outings. The 26-year-old's first full NHL campaign in 2021-22 went well -- he scored 24 goals and 41 points in 81 outings -- but dropped to six goals and 18 points in 76 contests last year. His offensive output this season might be somewhere in between those two campaigns, but he should be a good source of hits this year -- he's already at 25 after finishing 2022-23 with 290.

Records two-point night in loss Jeannot scored his first goal of the season with an assist in Sunday's 5-2 loss against the Senators.

Impact Jeannot chipped in with secondary helper on Anthony Cirelli's goal to make it 1-1. After the Lightning fell behind 2-1, Jeannot took matters into his own hands with the goal at 13:00 of the second period. He ended up with a plus-1 rating, four hits and a minor penalty. He'll look to carry the momentum into Tuesday's game in Buffalo.

Set for camp Jeannot (ankle) will be ready for the beginning of training camp, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Jeannot sat out Tampa Bay's final two postseason contests during the first round against Toronto due to a high-ankle sprain. In 76 regular-season appearances between the Lightning and Predators last campaign, he posted six goals, 18 points, 107 PIM and 290 hits. Jeannot will be in the mix for a middle-six role with Tampa Bay going into the 2023-24 season.
