Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Rejoins team
Rotowire
Raddysh (personal) has rejoined the Lightning and is on the ice for warmups ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Islanders, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Since Raddysh was not dealing with an injury, it's safe to assume he'll be fine to play Tuesday. The 29-year-old should be in contention for power-play minutes as well as a top-four role. He has seven points over his last three games.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Skipping practice Monday
Rotowire
Raddysh will not be in attendance for Monday's practice for personal reasons, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
For now, Raddysh should be considered a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's contest versus the Islanders. The blueliner has been red hot of late, racking up two goals and 11 helpers in his last eight contests, including four power-play points. The Bolts haven't called up an extra defenseman from the minors yet, which is a good sign that Raddysh will be back with the team to face New York.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Ten points in last seven games
Rotowire
Raddysh had a goal and two assists in a 6-3 victory over Detroit on Friday.
The goal came on the power play. Raddysh has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his past seven games. He has really stepped into the void created by injuries to Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed). Raddysh is a worthy addition while those two are out.
Raddysh potted a goal, tallied two assists, placed two shots on net and picked up two PIM in Tuesday's 5-1 win over New Jersey.
After grabbing an assist in his previous outing, Raddysh posted his best offensive performance of the season with a goal in the third period alongside two power-play assists. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, five assists and 25 shots on net in 13 games this season. He has stepped up in the absence of Victor Hedman (undisclosed), averaging 22:19 per game and over four minutes of power-play time without the team captain in the lineup. With Hedman's timetable still unknown, Raddysh is a strong streaming option in fantasy across most formats.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Set to play Thursday
Rotowire
Raddysh (personal) is expected to draw back into the lineup for Thursday's game against Dallas, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Raddysh wasn't in the lineup for Tuesday's 5-2 win over Nashville. He has a goal and three points in six appearances this season. Raddysh's return likely means that Tampa Bay will go back to a split of 11 forwards and seven defensemen, which might result in Curtis Douglas being a healthy scratch.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Didn't travel with team
Rotowire
Raddysh stayed back in Tampa Bay for the birth of his child and will miss Tuesday's matchup with Nashville, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Raddysh figures to be back in the lineup when the Bolts return home to face the Stars on Thursday, though that hasn't been officially confirmed. The team went with seven blueliners in their most recent contests, but without Raddysh available, the Lightning will likely reinsert forward Curtis Douglas into the lineup.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Finds twine in loss
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Devils.
Raddysh already has three points, four shots on net and three blocks over two games, though he's also posted a minus-3 rating. The 29-year-old is facing some competition from Max Crozier for a spot alongside Victor Hedman at even strength. Raddysh can do a little better standing on his own, as he has a good enough shot to be a power-play specialist on the second unit. The 29-year-old is a viable depth defenseman in fantasy.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Earns two assists in opener
Rotowire
Raddysh provided two assists, two shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.
Raddysh helped out on goals by Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov at even strength. The 29-year-old Raddysh was listed on the top pairing alongside Victor Hedman, but he saw just 17:33 of ice time, lowest among the Lightning's blueliners. There's often some mixing and matching during games, with Raddysh's offense as the thing that makes him stick in a top-four role. He could slip down the lineup once J.J. Moser (suspension) returns to action Monday in Boston.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: In action against Cats
Rotowire
Raddysh (undisclosed) will play in Tuesday's matchup with Florida, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Raddysh was questionable heading into Tuesday's game but will be in the lineup for the Bolts. The 29-year-old defenseman is currently mired in a 14-game goal drought, though he has chipped in five helpers, 14 shots and 11 blocks over that stretch. While there is little reason to expect the Lightning to move away from utilizing seven defensemen, Raddysh would likely be the odd man out if they shift back to a 12/6 deployment.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Considered day-to-day
Rotowire
Raddysh (undisclosed) is day-to-day and could play against Florida on Tuesday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Raddysh didn't participate in Monday's practice after missing the third period in Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo. However, the 29-year-old defender will test his injury Tuesday morning and stands a good chance of being available to play versus the Panthers. Raddysh has five goals, 36 points, 104 shots on net and 66 blocked shots through 71 appearances this season.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Departs Sunday's game
Rotowire
Raddysh (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Sunday's 7-4 win over Buffalo, and head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on his status after the game, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Raddysh logged 9:06 of ice time prior to exiting in the second period. The Lightning went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen Sunday due to a few injuries up front, so they'll need to promote someone from AHL Syracuse if Raddysh is forced to miss any time. The 29-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's potential preview of a first-round playoff matchup against the Panthers.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Hands out helper in loss
Rotowire
Raddysh notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Raddysh is still a scratch on occasion, but he's been excellent when in the lineup in March. He has two goals and seven assists over 11 appearances this month. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 32 points -- one shy of matching his career high from 2023-24 -- and he's added 99 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 61 contests.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Eight points in last six games
Rotowire
Raddysh had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 6-2 win over Boston.
Raddysh has really stepped up his game in the last two weeks. He has three points (one goal, two assists) in his last two outings, and the 29-year-old has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) and 10 shots in his past six contests. He is now just two points from equaling his career mark of 33, which was set last season in 82 games. This year, Raddysh has done it in 57, and he's already matched his seven power-play points from 2023-24, too. He has some deep league value, and he's widely available.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: One of each Thursday
Rotowire
Raddysh scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-5 win over the Sabres.
Raddysh has five points over his last three outings. His first-period tally Thursday was his first goal since Jan. 20 versus the Maple Leafs. The defenseman was called on for 24:47 of ice time, a season high by one second, because Victor Hedman (undisclosed) was hurt early. If Hedman misses additional time, Raddysh would be a candidate to quarterback the top power-play unit. The 29-year-old Raddysh has four goals, 28 points, 88 shots on net, 50 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 54 appearances, so he certainly has the scoring chops to handle a larger role.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Produces two helpers in win
Rotowire
Raddysh notched two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Raddysh helped out on goals by Mitchell Chaffee and Victor Hedman. With three assists over his last two games, Raddysh is making up for the six-game point drought that preceded this burst of offense. The blueliner now has 26 points, 85 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 32 hits and a plus-8 rating over 53 appearances. He'll have a tough time matching his 33-point output from the 2023-24 regular season, but he could at least get back to the 30-point mark if he keeps his momentum up.
