Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Adds assist in win
Lilleberg notched an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Lilleberg had a shot bounce off the boards, leading to a Brayden Point goal on the rebound just 2:02 into the first period. This was Lilleberg's second assist over the last four contests. Two of his three highest ice-time totals have been in the last two games, likely in part due to Erik Cernak (undisclosed) missing most of Thursday's game against the Ducks before sitting out Saturday's contest altogether. Lilleberg is at 10 helpers, 24 shots on net, 74 hits, 72 PIM, 34 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 41 outings this season.

Lightning's Cam Atkinson: Snaps slump with helper
Atkinson provided an assist and four hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Atkinson ended a 10-game slump with the helper on a Mitchell Chaffee goal in the second period. Gage Goncalves was waived Monday, and Atkinson has played in a bottom-six role in four straight contests. The Lightning are carrying just 12 forwards for now, and Atkinson's spot in the lineup is likely to be secure as long as that's the case. He has produced just six points with 32 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-4 rating over 27 appearances this season.

Lightning's Max Crozier: Reassigned to AHL
Crozier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.
Crozier logged 14:25 minutes in Saturday's win over Detroit, recording four hits and three blocked shots. The 24-year-old blueliner will now return to Syracuse, though he could be back with the Lightning ahead of Monday's game in Toronto if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) can't suit up.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Notches apple Saturday
Hedman logged an even-strength assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
Hedman recorded the primary assist on Nikita Kucherov's 21st goal of the campaign early in the second period. The 34-year-old Hedman has produced two goals and five helpers during his six-game point streak, marking his longest run of offensive success this season. The Swedish blueliner is up to seven goals, 36 points (14 with the man advantage), 22 PIM, 101 shots on net and a plus-10 rating through 42 outings.

Lightning's Mitchell Chaffee: Tallies in Saturday's victory
Chaffee scored a goal on his only shot and added four PIM, four hits, one blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Chaffee was all over the scoresheet Saturday, but this was his first point through 10 contests in January. The 26-year-old gave the Lightning a 4-0 lead early in the middle frame. While Chaffee has chipped in eight goals this season, he has only four assists, and his last helper came Nov. 23 in a loss to Dallas. The Michigan native is currently occupying a third-line role in addition to a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Goals in back-to-back games
Point netted an even-strength goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Point opened the scoring just 2:02 into Saturday's contest. The star center has scored in back-to-back games after being scratched Tuesday against the Bruins for missing a team meeting. The 28-year-old has gotten on the scoresheet in six of nine games in January, but he hasn't produced a multi-point outing since Dec. 28 against the Rangers. For the season, Point has 27 goals, 49 points (20 on the power play), 91 shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-7 rating. His 29.7 shooting percentage is easily the highest mark of his career, so he could be due for negative regression in that area over the second half. Then again, Point is insulated by an assortment of elite talent in Tampa Bay.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: One of each in win
Raddysh generated a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
Raddysh helped out on Jake Guentzel's power-play marker before scoring a goal of his own on the man advantage in the middle frame of Saturday's victory. Raddysh added four shots on goal, one hit, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 18:05 of ice time. The right-shot blueliner has points in three consecutive games for the second time in 2024-25. He's provided decent fantasy value on the No. 1 pairing in addition to his spot on the second power-play unit, chipping in two goals, 16 assists and a plus-8 rating through 36 appearances in 2024-25.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Continues to rack up points
Kucherov notched an even-strength goal and two power-play assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
Kucherov scored his 21st goal of the season in between setting up power-play tallies by Jake Guentzel and Darren Raddysh, all of which came in the second period. Kucherov's second helper was the 600th of his illustrious career in his 767th NHL regular-season appearance. The star winger extended his point streak to eight games Saturday, amassing four goals and 10 assists in that span. On a team that has multiple high-end players, Kucherov is leading the Bolts in scoring by a margin of 19, accounting for 47 helpers, 68 points and a plus-14 rating through 42 outings this season.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Three points in victory
Guentzel produced a power-play goal and two helpers, one on the man advantage, in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
Guentzel recorded his second three-point effort of 2024-25 in Saturday's win, as all of his production came in a lopsided second period in which Tampa Bay found the back of the net four times. The left-shot winger has a goal in back-to-back wins after going five games without a tally. He's delivered six points over his last four outings. The 30-year-old has done his part in attempting to replicate the production lost by Steven Stamkos, who is in his first season with Nashville. Guentzel is up to 23 goals, 46 points (15 on the power play), 14 PIM, 111 shots on goal and a plus-8 rating through 43 appearances in his first campaign as a Bolt.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Stellar in Saturday's victory
Vasilevskiy turned aside 39 of 40 shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
Vasilevskiy turned in one of his better performances of the season Saturday, as it was only the second instance in 2024-25 that he faced at least 40 shots. The 30-year-old has won back-to-back games and four of his last six. The Big Cat has stopped 212 of 230 shots while posting a 4-3-1 record through eight appearances in January. On the season, the Russian netminder is 20-13-2 with a .916 save percentage and a 2.35 GAA through 35 starts.

Lightning's Erik Cernak: Out of action Saturday
Cernak (undisclosed) will be out of the lineup versus Detroit on Saturday, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.
Cernak was injured early in the first period against the Ducks on Thursday and did not return. He missed the morning skate Saturday and should be considered day-to-day at this time, ahead of the Lightning's four-game road trip that begins Tuesday in Anaheim. Cernak has 10 assists, 53 blocked shots and 92 hits over 41 contests this season. Look for Max Crozier to enter the lineup in place of Cernak.

Lightning's Max Crozier: Called up Friday
Crozier was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Friday.
Crozier's promotion indicates Erik Cernak (undisclosed) may not play Saturday versus the Red Wings. Crozier has produced nine points over 22 AHL contests this season. If he suits up, he'll likely fill a bottom-pairing role while Nick Perbix moves up to take extra minutes.

Lightning's Nick Perbix: Hands out helper in shootout win
Perbix notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.
The assist ended Perbix's 12-game point drought. The 26-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, though he could be elevated to a more prominent spot if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) misses time after logging just one shift Thursday. Perbix has 11 points, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-4 rating through 38 appearances this season, so he's not a particularly strong option for fantasy.

Lightning's Brayden Point: Scores in return
Point scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over the Ducks.
Point missed a team meeting and was scratched Tuesday versus the Bruins. It was a one-game punishment for the 28-year-old center, and he made some amends by scoring a second-period tally Thursday. The center is up to 26 goals, 48 points, 89 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 38 appearances. Point can be safely reinserted into all fantasy lineups as he pushes toward a third straight 40-plus-goal season.

He's up to 18 goals, 19 helpers, five power-play points, 89 shots and a plus-18 rating through 42 appearances. Cirelli figures to play on the second line at even strength while seeing big minutes in all situations.
