• Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Keeps rolling Sunday

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Goncalves notched an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens. Nikita Kucherov (upper body) was a last-minute scratch, and Goncalves moved over to right wing on the top line. Goncalves made good on head coach Jon Cooper's trust, picking up his fifth assist in the last six games when he set up a Victor Hedman tally in the first period. Goncalves spent a couple of weeks with AHL Syracuse in January, and it appears to have benefited his performance. He could be assigned to play with the minor-league team during the 4 Nations Face-Off, but it's likely Goncalves will be with the big club for most of the rest of the campaign. He has seven points, 30 shots on net, 25 hits and a plus-3 rating over 33 appearances.

• Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Stays warm with helper

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Goncalves logged an assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings. Goncalves will be sad to see the 4 Nations Face-Off break -- he has four assists over his last five outings. The 24-year-old earned a look in the top six over the previous two contests due to his recent strong play. The Lightning have one more game before the break against the Canadiens on Sunday, and Goncalves should be a decent DFS budget option for the two-game slate if he stays in the top six.

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Goncalves notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Senators. The absence of Anthony Cirelli (upper body) led to significant changes to the Lightning's lineup. Goncalves benefited, earning a top-line chance at even strength, and he made good on it by assisting on Brayden Point's third-period insurance tally. Goncalves has a helper in three of his last four contests, and he's up to five points, 28 shots on net, 23 hits and a plus-2 rating over 31 games this season.
