Lightning's Cam Atkinson: Posts helper in win
Cam Atkinson notched an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.Atkinson was a healthy scratch versus the Canucks on Tuesday before drawing back into the lineup in a bottom-six role Thursday. The 35-year-old winger appears to be competing with Conor Sheary for one spot in the lineup currently. Atkinson's helper was his first point in two appearances, and he's added two shots on net. He's not a physical player and probably won't feature on the power play, so he has limited fantasy upside at this stage of his career.

Lightning's Cam Atkinson: Secures one-year deal
Cam Atkinson signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.After missing the entirety of the 2022-23 season due to injuries, Atkinson generated 13 goals and 28 points in 70 regular-season contests with the Flyers in 2023-24. Philadelphia bought Atkinson out of the final campaign of his seven-year, $41.125 million contract in June. However, he has some bounce-back upside as a middle-six forward option for the Tampa Bay Lightning. He could also receive a role on the second power-play unit.

Flyers' Cam Atkinson: Two points in Tuesday's loss
Cam Atkinson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Lightning.Both points came in the second period as the Philadelphia Flyers tried in vain to mount a comeback from an early 3-0 deficit. Atkinson extended his point streak to six games in the process, a stretch during which the 34-year-old winger has produced five goals and 10 points. That surge snapped a 26-game goal drought, however, and on the season Atkinson has just 13 goals and 28 points in 47 contests. While his current form makes him worth a roster spot in almost any fantasy format, he should be viewed as a short-term plug-in and not a long-term roster solution.
