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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
