  • Lightning's Nick Paul: First power-play goal of season

    Paul scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 win over Carolina.

    Paul jammed in a rebound in the second period to put the Bolts up 2-1. It was his first point in five games, and his first power-play goal of the season. Paul had gone on a bit of a rip starting before the holiday break (three goals, three assists) in five games. However, he remains prone to surges and slips in production that keep his managers frustrated by his lack of consistency.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Tallies in Saturday's win

    Paul scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

    Paul put away an unassisted insurance tally at 14:12 of the third period. The 29-year-old forward has warmed up again with three goals and three assists over his last five outings, a run reminiscent of his play in October.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Scores in loss to Florida

    Paul scored a goal and took three shots in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.

    Paul missed six games in November due to an undisclosed injury but has been putting up decent numbers since his return, tallying three goals and five total points in eight appearances in December. The 29-year-old is up to eight goals this season, though his chances to keep producing won't be very high since he remains rooted in a bottom-six role.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Three-point outburst

    Paul had a goal and two assists in a 5-3 win over Columbus on Tuesday.

    It was a big night for Paul, who started the season with an outstanding October (nine points in 10 games) but had struggled to rebound after missing time with an injury. This game snapped a four-game scoreless streak. Paul is a decent mid-level fantasy contributor in deep formats, that is if this game signals a return to his potential. He won't often put up big games, but he can deliver secondary scoring.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Tallies in return

    Paul scored a goal on five shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

    Paul returned from a six-game absence due to an undisclosed injury, and he logged 19:07 in the blowout win, which suggests he'll have no limitations moving forward. The 29-year-old has been effective for the Lightning in a middle-six role this season. He's at six goals, 14 points, 30 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-3 rating through 18 appearances.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Set to return Thursday

    Paul (undisclosed) will be available for Thursday's home game against the Sharks, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

    Paul missed the Lightning's last six games due to an undisclosed injury, but head coach Jon Cooper confirmed that the 29-year-old will be back in action against San Jose. Paul got off to a hot start this season, tallying five goals, 13 points and 19 hits while averaging 16:24 of ice time over his first 17 appearances.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Won't play again in November

    Paul (undisclosed) is expected to miss at least another week, ruling him out for the Lightning's next four games, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports Monday.

    It's a tough week for Paul to be sidelined with an injury considering Tampa Bay has four games this week, all of which the winger will miss, before playing just twice the following week. After a blazing start to the season saw the Ontario native rack up 11 points in the first 12 games, he was limited to just two points in the five contests before he got hurt. Without Paul in the lineup, the team has been utilizing seven defensemen and could continue to do so over the next four games.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Out Saturday

    Paul (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Dallas, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

    Paul will miss his second straight game. He has five goals and 13 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Tampa Bay will dress seven defensemen Saturday, including Darren Raddysh, who was a healthy scratch Thursday against Columbus. Paul's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Avalanche.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Ruled out versus Jackets

    Paul (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against Columbus on Thursday after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "He will be out tonight so we will reevaluate him in Tampa when we get back," per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

    Paul will be sidelined for the first time this season, having played in all 17 games for the Bolts. In those outings, the 29-year-old winger has notched five goals, eight assists and 25 shots while averaging 16:24 of ice time. As long as Paul doesn't spend a significant chunk of time on the shelf, he should be capable of reaching both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds for the second consecutive campaign.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Leaves Tuesday's game

    Paul left Tuesday's game versus the Penguins with an undisclosed injury, and there wasn't an update on his status, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Paul will be evaluated further Wednesday. The 29-year-old left midway through Tuesday's contest, logging 10:38 of ice time with three shots on goal and one hit. If Paul can't play Thursday against the Blue Jackets, Cam Atkinson or Nick Perbix could enter the lineup.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Tallies in shutout win

    Paul scored a goal and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Devils.

    Paul has four points over six games in November. The 29-year-old forward is up to five goals, eight helpers, 22 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating through 16 appearances this season. That's a pace that would put him over the 50-point mark for the first time in his career. Paul is handling a second-line role and a spot on the second power-play unit and looks like a good fit there and as a depth forward in fantasy.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Puts up helper

    Paul notched an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

    Paul was held off the scoresheet in back-to-back games prior to Thursday, the first time that's happened to him all season. The 29-year-old isn't a flashy scorer, but he has been consistent while seeing second-line minutes. He's up to four goals, eight helpers, 21 shots on net, 17 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 15 contests in 2024-25.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Scores late in loss

    Paul scored a goal and went minus-2 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

    Paul's six-game point streak ended Wednesday in Colorado, but he's still been a pleasant surprise in a middle-six role this season. The 29-year-old's goal Friday cut the Wild's lead to 4-3 late in the third period, but the Lightning were unable to tie the game. He has produced four goals, six assists, 17 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances this year. Paul is an effective secondary scorer who can chip in shots and hits, but he's unlikely to be consistent on offense throughout the full campaign.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Surprising six-game point streak

    Paul scored the game-winning goal Monday in a 3-2 overtime victory over Nashville.

    It was a sweet wrist shot from the low slot off a backdoor feed from Jake Guentzel. Paul has quietly put up six points (three goals, three assists) on his current six-game streak. The second line looks good on this guy. Check your wire. Paul won't help on the power play, but you can't ignore his 5-on-5 contributions.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Nets goal Monday

    Paul scored an even-strength goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    Paul has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's found a way to crack the scoresheet in all but one of his five appearances so far. He's up to two goals, three assists, four penalty minutes, 10 shots and eight hits in his five outings while seeing consistent ice time as a middle-six forward and a member of the second power-play unit.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Scores in Saturday's loss

    Paul scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

    Paul picked up his first goal and fourth point of the season when he tied the game at 2-2 midway through the second period. The 29-year-old continues to play in a middle-six role. He's added eight shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over four contests. A point-per-game pace is too much to expect from Paul, but he can chip in decent depth scoring and hits, giving him fantasy value in deeper formats.

  • Lightning's Nick Paul: Two helpers in Tuesday's win

    Paul notched two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

    Tampa Bay's second line put the game away in the third period, with Paul helping set up tallies by Anthony Cirelli and Brandon Hagel. Paul has three points, all assists, through the first two games of the season as the 29-year-old looks to top the career-high 24 goals and 46 points he produced in 2023-24.
