Lightning's Victor Hedman: Won't play Tuesday
Hedman (undisclosed) won't play against New Jersey on Tuesday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Hedman will miss his fourth straight game, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. He has 12 assists, 23 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season. Darren Raddysh has been skating on Tampa Bay's top pairing due to Hedman's absence.

Lightning's Erik Cernak: Not playing Tuesday
Cernak (lower body) won't play against New Jersey on Tuesday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Cernak is day-to-day and will miss at least one game. He has chipped in three assists, 12 shots on goal, 40 blocked shots and 39 hits across 18 appearances this season. With Cernak and Max Crozier (undisclosed) unavailable, Declan Carlile and Steve Santini will be in Tuesday's lineup against the Devils.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Slated to play versus New Jersey
Cirelli (upper body) is expected to be available for Tuesday's home contest against the Devils, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Cirelli last suited up Nov. 6 in Vegas but is set to return to game action Tuesday. The left-shot center should resume his usual duties on the second line while seeing time with the man advantage.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to start Tuesday
Vasilevskiy is slated to guard the crease at home versus the Devils on Tuesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Vasilevskiy has appeared in eight of the Lightning's last 10 outings, posting a 6-2-0 record and a 2.35 GAA along the way. It's a strong turnaround for the veteran backstop after he started the year on a five-game losing streak. With no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, Vasilevskiy should see a heavy workload to close out November and figures to be near the top of the games-played list at the end of the year.

Lightning's Dominic James: Taken off injured reserve
James (face) was activated off IR ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Devils, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Where James fits into the lineup against the Devils on Tuesday will likely depend on the availability of Anthony Cirelli (upper body) and Nick Paul (upper body), who have both been working with the team at practice. In his last two games prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old James was finding his offensive stride with one goal and three assists.

Lightning's Max Crozier: Designated for injured reserve
Crozier (undisclosed) is back on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Crozier has been battling an undisclosed injury that has seen him coming in and out of the lineup. The 25-year-old Calgary native is pointless in his last four appearances while trying to work his way back to 100 percent. With Crozier on the shelf, the Lightning recalled Steve Santini and Declan Carlile from the minors.

Lightning's Steve Santini: Called up from AHL
Santini was recalled from the minors Tuesday.
Santini has been putting up decent numbers in the minors this year, notching four assists in 13 games for the Crunch. In addition to Santini, the Bolts also elevated Declan Carlile from the minors, which would seem to indicate there are multiple injury concerns on the blue line. If Santini does face the Devils on Tuesday, it would mark his 2025-26 debut.

Lightning's Declan Carlile: Joining NHL club
Carlile was called up from the minors Tuesday.
Carlile has just four games of NHL experience, in which he has generated one goal on three shots, two hits and four blocks. The Bolts' decision to bring up the young blueliner from the minors doesn't bode well for the availability of Victor Hedman (undisclosed) against the Devils on Tuesday. Even if Hedman doesn't play, Carlile is far from a lock to get into the lineup Tuesday and would need to edge out Max Crozier or Charle-Edouard D'Astous for minutes.

Lightning's Boris Katchouk: Sent down Monday
Katchouk was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.
Katchouk spent the last few days with the NHL club and made three appearances, recording no points, five hits and two blocked shots while averaging 12:11 of ice time. However, his return to the minors could mean that Anthony Cirelli (upper body) is getting closer to returning after missing the last four games.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Beaten five times
Johansson stopped 12 of 17 shots in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks. The sixth goal was an empty-netter with 3:03 left in the third period.
Johansson won three of his first four starts this season, but the 30-year-old netminder has allowed six goals on 24 shots faced over his last two appearances, including a relief appearance against the Rangers on Nov. 12. The 30-year-old remains firmly entrenched as the backup behind Andrei Vasilevskiy, so his fantasy upside won't be very high and will be strictly matchup-based. However, if Johansson continues to play like he did Sunday, he's better suited to remain on waivers across virtually all formats.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Finds twine in loss Sunday
Guentzel scored a goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
Guentzel doubled the Lightning's lead at the 4:35 mark of the second period when he deflected a shot from Erik Cernak while in front of the net. Guentzel had a slow start to the season but has been turning things around of late with four goals and three assists over his last seven appearances.

Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Scores vs. Vancouver
Kucherov scored a goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
Kucherov snapped a three-game goal drought with a one-timer from the right circle after a set-up from Darren Raddysh. Kucherov has been a steady scoring weapon for the Lightning throughout his career, and while his numbers haven't been eye-popping so far, he's on pace to reach the 40-goal plateau if he stays healthy. Kucherov has eight goals and 16 total points in 16 appearances so far.

Lightning's Jakob Pelletier: Headed back down
Pelletier has been re-assigned to AHL Syracuse by the Lightning, the team announced Sunday.
The return of Brandon Hagel (upper body) from injury is likely what prompted this move from the Lightning, who are still missing Anthony Cirelli (upper body). Pelletier made his NHL debut while up with the big club, skating 6:12 while recording one hit and one blocked shot. He'll head back to AHL Syracuse, where he's been effective with 14 points in 13 games.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Remains out Sunday
Cirelli (upper body) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Cirelli will miss a fourth consecutive game as he battles an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old has 11 points (seven goals, four assists) in 14 games with a plus-6 rating this season as a valuable part of the Lightning's forward group. His next chance to play will be Tuesday against the Devils.

Lightning's Victor Hedman: Unavailable Sunday
Hedman (undisclosed) won't play against Vancouver on Sunday, according to Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley.
Hedman will miss his third straight game, but the Lightning hope to get him back for Tuesday's matchup against New Jersey. He has produced 12 assists, 23 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Taking warmups and set to play
Hagel (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Hagel will return after a one-game absence. The 27-year-old had been one of the league's hottest scorers before his injury, registering 13 points in his last nine games. He'll jump right back into the top six on a line with Boris Katchouk and Jake Guentzel as Hagel attempts to keep the momentum going.

Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Starting Sunday
Johansson is getting the start Sunday against the Canucks, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Andrei Vasilevskiy started Saturday, so it will be Johansson getting the second end of the back-to-back Sunday against the Canucks. The 30-year-old has a 3-1-0 record, 2.83 GAA and .913 save percentage in five appearances this season. The Canucks come in having won just one of their last four contests, but offense hasn't been the issue; Vancouver has scored 14 goals over that timeframe.
