Aman scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Abbotsford's 5-3 win over San Diego on Sunday.

Aman has two goals and six assists over his last eight contests. Through 52 outings this season, Aman is up to six goals and 37 points. He saw some time in the NHL early in the campaign, but he went scoreless in two appearances.

Bunting (lower body) didn't return to Sunday's game against Philadelphia after exiting in the first period, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports.

Bunting was deemed questionable to return during the first intermission Sunday, but he ultimately didn't get back on the ice during the final two periods. Head coach Glen Gulutzan said he doesn't believe Bunting will be forced to miss too much time. However, it's not yet clear when the 30-year-old forward will be able to return. His next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Bruins.

Perry scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Perry delivered the game-winner for the Bolts at the 6:52 mark of the final frame with a snap shot. Even though the veteran forward doesn't have the role he had in his prime, he remains a capable performer. He's up to four goals and six points in 13 games since being acquired by Tampa Bay from Los Angeles midway through the season. This was his 15th overall goal in 63 appearances.

Hagel scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Hagel found the back of the net at the 4:33 mark of the final frame, giving the Lightning a transitory 2-1 lead, although the Bolts would end up winning thanks to a later goal from Corey Perry. Hagel has matched the best goal tally of his career, set across 82 regular-season games in 2024-25, though he's unlikely to reach the 90-point threshold he did then. Over 68 regular-season contests, Hagel has notched 73 points (35 goals and 38 assists) in 2025-26. He's also on quite a scoring roll since he's found the back of the net in three of his last four appearances.

Guentzel recorded a goal and two assists in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Guentzel scored Tampa Bay's first goal with a wrister at the 13:32 mark of the second period before assisting on goals scored by Brandon Hagel and Corey Perry. Guentzel has found the back of the net in four consecutive games and six of his last seven. He's up to 35 goals and 45 assists in 72 games. This is just the third season in his career that he has reached the 80-point threshold, and Guentzel has a chance to top his career high of 84 points, established in 76 regular-season games with the Penguins in 2021-22.

Johansson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Johansson was beaten in the second and third periods, but overall, he looked competent between the pipes and did enough to support Tampa Bay's comeback in the final frame. Johansson earned his first win since Jan. 12, but given that he rarely suits up for the Bolts, he's not a player to target in most fantasy formats -- even in games where Andrei Vasilevskiy gets a breather.

Annunen stopped 25 of 28 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning.

Annunen didn't play in the 4-1 loss to Montreal on Saturday, but he's lost back-to-back starts for the second time since the beginning of the month. Annunen has also posted a save percentage below .900 in three of his six starts since the beginning of March, and given the Predators' recent defensive struggles, it's hard to trust the 26-year-old in most formats right now, especially since he's a matchup-based option as the backup behind Juuse Saros.

Forsberg recorded a goal and an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning.

Forsberg cracked the scoresheet after a two-game stretch in which he went pointless, and he remains one of the most influential players for the Predators, even with the team mired in a three-game losing streak. Forsberg is up to 34 goals and 33 assists in 74 games this season, and he's within reach of posting at least 70 points for a third consecutive regular season.

Kemell scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning.

Kemell scored the first goal of his NHL career with a deflection at the 8:31 mark of the second period. However, he hasn't taken a single shot in four of his eight appearances this season, and as a fourth-line rookie, he's not expected to have much upside in the final weeks of the regular season. Kemell is averaging just 0.75 shots per game in his eight outings in 2025-26.

Bunting is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Flyers due to a lower-body injury.

Bunting exited Sunday's matchup in the first period after recording a hit and a shot in 3:46 of ice time. The team revealed during the first intermission that he's dealing with a lower-body issue, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return in the final two periods. If Bunting is unavailable for the remainder of the game, his next opportunity to suit up would be Tuesday against Boston.
