| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Steve Stamkos  ActiveSteve Stamkos tallied two goals and added an assist at the All-Star Game on Sunday in a 17-12 loss to Team Toews. Stamkos suited up for the home side (Team Foligno) in Columbus and he had a good time. "It was a fun game," he said. "Tough one for the goalies, obviously, with the amount of skill out there. ... Obviously a lot of goals. The fans were probably happy about that." Jan 26 |
| 2 | Tyler Johnson ActiveTyler Johnson (lower body) was able to play on Tuesday against Carolina. He was listed as a game-time call going into the match after missing the All-Star Game because of a lower-body ailment. Johnson didn't register a point in a 4-2 loss. Jan 28 |
| 3 | Valtteri Filppula ActiveValtteri Filppula notched a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Vancouver. He was back on a line with Steve Stamkos and Ryan Callahan in the contest. Filppula opened the scoring with his ninth goal of the season and he picked up his 24th assist on a goal by Alex Killorn to give Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead. He has recorded two goals and six points in his last seven outings. Jan 21 |
| 4 | Brian Boyle ActiveBrian Boyle tallied his 10th goal of the season Tuesday, but the Lightning fell to Carolina by a score of 4-2. With his second shorthanded goal of the campaign, Boyle reaches double-digit markers for the third time in his career. Despite the productive season by his standards, he's likely not worth a look in your fantasy league. Cedric Paquette also found the back of the net in the loss. Jan 28 |
| 5 | Cedric Paquette ActiveCedric Paquette registered his sixth goal in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Carolina. He got the Lightning on the board after the Hurricanes jumped out to a 2-0 lead early in the first period. Paquette has two points in his past two games to give him 12 on the year. Jan 28 |
| LW | 1 | Ondrej Palat ActiveOndrej Palat scored twice in the third period to propel the Bolts to a 3-2 win over the Oilers on Thursday night. Palat notched the game-tying and game-winning goals for Tampa Bay, who were trailing the lowly Oilers for much of the game. Palat now has four points in his past two games and 36 points in 42 games overall this season. Jan 16 |
| 2 | Jonathan Drouin ActiveJonathan Drouin admits there has been some disappointment with his rookie season, but he is "happy with the process" and is more than willing to keep working. "This isn't a one-year investment. It's long term with (Jonathan)," coach Jon Cooper said. "It's a different game than what he came from in junior. But he's gotten better and better and better. It's clear when you watch the games now. There's more command of the puck. He doesn't rush plays anymore. He knows he has a little more time." Drouin said his confidence at the NHL level is growing, which will hopefully lead to an increase in his point production. He has two goals and 18 points in 37 games, but fantasy owners should remember that he doesn't turn 20 until the end of March and he still has a long career ahead of him. Jan 27 |
| 3 | Alex Killorn ActiveAlex Killorn scored a pair of goals for the Lightning on Tuesday as part of a 4-1 win over Vancouver. Killorn reached double-digits by scoring his 10th of the campaign early in the third period then added his 11th into an empty net to seal the win. Valtteri Filppula and Brian Boyle also found the back of the net for Tampa Bay in the win. Jan 21 |
| 4 | Brenden Morrow ActiveBrenden Morrow and Nikita Nesterov will be healthy scratches in Montreal on Tuesday night. Once one of the most rugged and valuable power forwards in the world of hockey is merely a shell of his former self. Morrow has four points, 36 PIMs, and 59 hits, just in case you league rewards the latter two heavily. Nesterov, like Morrow, has no fantasy value otherwise. Jan 6 |
| RW | 1 | Ryan Callahan ActiveRyan Callahan scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout win over Colorado. Callahan also added the game-winning goal in the shootout. The Lightning have tied a franchise record with their seventh consecutive win on home ice. Callahan has four points in his last five games, and has 15 goals and 34 points in 42 games this season. Jan 18 |
| 2 | Nikita Kucherov ActiveNikita Kucherov registered two assists and four shots in Tuesday's 4-2 victory against Montreal. He picked up a helper on both of Tyler Johnson's power-play goals in the contest. Kucherov has four assists in his past two games to give him 41 points in 42 games. The 21-year-old forward is enjoying a remarkable sophomore season. He had 18 points in 52 games last year and now he has 17 goals after 42 appearances. Kucherov is also tied for first in the league with a plus-26 rating. Jan 7 |
| 3 | Brett Connolly ActiveBrett Connolly scored the lone goal for the Lightning in their 3-1 loss to the Islanders on Saturday night. It looked like it’d be the only goal of the game as neither team could score until the third period. Connolly has six goals in 23 games this season. Tyler Johnson and Mark Barberio picked up the helpers. Valtteri Filppula finished a game-low minus-two. Dec 20 |
| 4 | J.T. Brown ActiveJT Brown will sit Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins. Through 28 games, Brown has just five points, 17 PIMs and 22 hits, and has played only twice since Dec. 19th. All of which is to say that he is not recommended for even the deepest of pools. Jan 13 |
| D | 1 | Victor Hedman ActiveVictor Hedman contributed a pair of helpers in a 4-1 win against Vancouver on Tuesday night. He snapped a four-game scoring skid with his eighth multi-point performance of the 2014-14 campaign. Hedman has 22 points and a plus-11 rating in 28 appearances. Jan 21 |
| 2 | Jason Garrison ActiveJason Garrison to play Friday versus the Penguins. Through 38 games, the booming defender has three goals and 17 points with seven of said points coming with the man advantage. Jan 2 |
| 3 | Matt Carle  SidelinedMatt Carle has a torn abductor muscle that will require surgery. Carle will be sidelined for an six-to-eight weeks as a result. He has four goals and 14 points in 46 contests this season. His lukewarm showing offensively this season means that his absence won't impact a lot of teams in standard leagues, but he'll be dearly missed by the Lightning, which relied on him to average 20:34 minutes per contest. Jan 19 |
| 4 | Anton Stralman ActiveAnton Stralman’s two-point night helped lead the Lightning to a 3-2 shootout win over the Avalanche on Saturday. Stralman’s goal gave the Lightning a 2-1 lead in the third period, his first marker since Nov. 8. He has three goals and 22 points on the season, so he’s well on his way to topping the six and 34 he posted in 2009-10. Ryan Callahan got the other goal and also won it in the shootout. Jan 17 |
| 5 | Radko Gudas SidelinedRadko Gudas (knee) is expected to miss the next four months. Gudas underwent arthroscopic knee surgery as scheduled on Tuesday. "It's a little tough to digest right now, just because clearly it's more serious than we thought," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "It's hard for me to comment, because I've had him for a long time, so I know what he means to us." Nikita Nesterov was brought up from the minors when Gudas' injury wasn't thought to be this severe and it looks like the 21-year-old might get a rather lengthy trial. Jan 6 |
| 6 | Andrej Sustr ActiveAndrej Sustr chipped in two assists in Thursday's 5-0 victory against Buffalo. He didn't have a point in his previous eight outings. Sustr has five helpers in 24 games this campaign. Dec 5 |
| 7 | Mark Barberio ActiveMark Barberio and JT Brown will be healthy scratches in Tuesday's tilt with the Vancouver Canucks. Through 22 games, Barberio has barely registered on the score sheet. He has just two points, two penalty minutes, and 16 blocks this season. Brown, meanwhile, through 30 games has just five points, 21 PIMs, and 25 hits. Neither have much fantasy value. Jan 20 |
| 8 | Nikita Nesterov ActiveNikita Nesterov has been improving his play. The Lightning want to see what they have within the organization first before they start searching for a replacement defenseman. "Nikita has done very well, and right now he deserves to play more and let's see how he holds up. After six games he's gotten better from game one to game six," said Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman. "So we are pleased with that and that takes a little bit of the pressure off of going to find a guy. Let's see how Luke does and then if we need somebody at some point we can go into (the trade market)." Injuries to Matt Carle and Radko Gudas will give Nesterov and Luke Witkowski a chance to prove they belong at the NHL level. Jan 20 |
| 9 | Mattias Ohlund  I.L.Mattias Ohlund (knees) has been placed on Tampa Bay's long-term injured reserve list. He carries a salary cap hit of $3.607 million and is signed for the next three seasons, but there has been plenty of talk that his career might be over. Ohlund, who had surgery on both of his knees, hasn't played since May 27, 2011. Oct 2 |
| 10 | Luke Witkowski ActiveLuke Witkowski and JT Brown will be healhty scratches against Carolina on Tuesday night. Neither player is noted for their scoring prowess, nor their ability to soak up PIMs, making both difficult to recommend for your fantasy squad. Jan 27 |
| G | 1 | Ben Bishop ActiveBen Bishop wasn't sharp Tuesday as he allowed four goals on 22 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes. The loss snaps a three-game win streak for the hulking netminder, who had seemingly just begun to rediscover last year's form. The poor performance drops his record to 24-8-2 while his GAA is 2.39 and his save percentage is .911. Jan 28 |
| 2 | Evgeni Nabokov ActiveLightning coach Jon Cooper offered a lukewarm show of support for backup goaltender Evgeni Nabokov. Nabokov has a 3.15 GAA and .882 save percentage in 11 games this season. On Monday he allowed four goals on 13 shots before being pulled from the contest. "He has given us some quality starts and he's given some that I think he would like to have back," Cooper said. "He's played in some tough situations in the back-to-backs that have been difficult for him, but he's also played some games where we expected better. It's been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for him. But he's never been in this situation before, and there's been some situations where we expected better and so did he. But it's not like he’s not trying." Nabokov has no fantasy value at this point. Even if Ben Bishop gets hurt, we would expect Tampa Bay to lean on AHL goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy over Nabokov. Jan 13 |
