Lightning visit the Senators on 3-game winning streak
The Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to keep their three-game win streak going when they visit the Ottawa Senators4 HOURS AGO•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Brayden McNabb - Deposits goal in lossMcNabb scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
ImpactMcNabb opened the scoring at 5:26 of the first period. The 33-year-old defenseman has two points, seven shots on net, six hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over five appearances this season. His physicality makes him an option in banger leagues, but playing on the third pairing will likely limit his offense, keeping him out of the mix in standard fantasy formats.

Pavel Dorofeyev - Nets power-play goal ThursdayDorofeyev scored a power-play goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
ImpactDorofeyev tallied in the first period, scoring for the second time in three games. He has added 10 shots on net and a minus-1 rating across five contests this season. He's bounced around the lineup a bit, but his 18:03 of ice time Thursday suggests he's gained a little more trust from head coach Bruce Cassidy. Still, Dorofeyev hasn't quite meshed with Tomas Hertl yet, and with the Golden Knights being heavily dependent on their top line, Dorofeyev may be a volatile option for fantasy managers early in the campaign.

Ivan Barbashev - Bends twine in lossBarbashev scored a goal and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Lightning.
ImpactBarbashev is up to four goals and four assists through five contests. His tally in the second period gave Vegas a 3-2 lead, but they weren't able to bring it to the finish line. Barbashev has added five hits, 10 shots on net and a plus-6 rating this season while playing alongside Jack Eichel and Mark Stone on one of the hottest lines in the league.

Emil Lilleberg - Offers assist in winLilleberg notched an assist and five hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
ImpactLilleberg is not guaranteed a spot in the lineup, but he has played two of the Lightning's three games so far. Even when he suits up, it's been in a very limited third-pairing role so far. In 2023-24, the 23-year-old defenseman accumulated five assists, 31 shots on net, 105 hits and 48 blocked shots over 37 regular-season contests. with no clear path to top-four minutes, he's unlikely to be an option in most fantasy formats.

Mitchell Chaffee - Lends assist in winChaffee produced an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
ImpactThe helper was Chaffee's first point in three appearances this season. The winger has added three hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and one shot on goal. He's locked into a fourth-line role, but it wouldn't be surprising if he was occasionally designated a healthy scratch this season. He played in 30 regular-season games with the Lightning last year, producing seven points and 88 hits.
