Girgensons notched an assist and four blocked shots in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche. Girgensons' helper was the 100th of his career. The 30-year-old forward has 189 points over 708 appearances, with much of his time in the NHL coming as a bottom-six player. This year, he's produced just the one assist in addition to 29 hits, 22 PIM, 17 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over his first 20 outings with the Lightning after a 10-year tenure with the Sabres. Girgensons has finished between 14 and 19 points in each of the last eight years, but he'll have some work to do to get to that level in 2024-25.

Girgensons has no points through his first 10 appearances this season. Girgensons has played in all of the Lightning's games, but he has little to show for it. He's picked up 12 shots on net, 11 hits, two blocked shots and five PIM. The 30-year-old forward hasn't even reached the 20-point mark since his 30-point 2014-15 campaign, so even with a steady spot in the lineup, he's not an option for most fantasy managers. He had a career-low 14 points in just 63 outings in 2023-24.

Girgensons signed a three-year, $2.55 million contract with Tampa Bay on Monday. Girgensons spent the first 10 years of his career in Buffalo, totaling 188 points and 1,239 hits through 688 games. Last year, he scored 14 points while laying out 141 hits and averaging 11:51 of ice time through 63 games. The veteran forward will provide a bottom-six option for the Lightning.

Girgensons (illness) won't play Sunday against Detroit, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.
