Lightning's Sam O'Reilly: Hat trick for Kitchener
O'Reilly scored three goals in OHL Kitchener's 8-5 win over Sault Ste. Marie in Game 2 on Sunday.
O'Reilly has found his finishing gloves in the postseason with eight goals and one assist over six games. The 20-year-old center had 29 goals and 71 points over 56 regular-season outings. The scoring touch may not last, but O'Reilly will be a major part of Kitchener's attack throughout the playoffs.

Lightning's Lucas Mercuri: Buries two goals for Crunch
Mercuri scored twice in AHL Syracuse's 5-1 win over Utica on Saturday.
Mercuri snapped a seven-game point drought, and his effort also ended a stretch of 13 contests without a goal. His first full AHL campaign has been just okay with 14 goals, 12 assists, 95 shots on net and 132 hits over 65 appearances. Mercuri's playing style suggests he'll be more of a bottom-six option if he ever gets to the NHL.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Reclaims NHL win lead
Vasilevskiy made 19 saves Saturday in a 2-1 win over Boston.
This game was as tight as a playoff contest. Vasilevskiy and Boston's Jeremy Swayman were both superb in the contest. The Tampa Bay netminder got back in the win column after two losses, moving back into sole possession of the NHL lead for wins (38). Vasilevskiy is 38-15-4 with two shutouts, a 2.30 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 57 appearances this season.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Gets sniper's goal in return
Hagel scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over Boston.
Hagel got the Lightning on the board early in the third period when he broke in alone and scored five-hole on Jeremy Swayman. Hagel's 36th goal of the season set a new career high. He could have two more outings to get his timing back before the postseason begins, but he played well in his return after missing five games because of a lower-body injury.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Seals win with rare goal
Lilleberg scored a goal Saturday in a 2-1 in over the Bruins.
Lilleberg scored off a rebound with 1:35 left to give the Lightning the victory. The defensive-minded defender, who continues to wear a full cage to protect a broken jaw suffered early in March, had just three goals and seven assists in 47 games prior to Saturday. Still, he has two game-winning goals this season.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Good to go Saturday
Hagel (lower body) will play against Boston on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Following a five-game absence, Hagel will return to a top-six role against the Bruins on Saturday. He should log time on the power play in the contest. Hagel has racked up 35 goals, 73 points and 205 shots on net across 69 appearances this season.

Raddysh (undisclosed) won't play against Boston on Saturday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Raddysh is day-to-day due to an injury and will miss at least one game. He has amassed 22 goals, 70 points, 207 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 66 hits in 72 appearances this season.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting in Boston
Vasilevskiy will guard the road cage in Boston on Saturday, per Russ Macias of The Hockey News.

Lightning's Jakob Pelletier: Returned to AHL
Pelletier was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Saturday.
Pelletier played two games since his recall Tuesday, picking up a pair of hits, one blocked shot and three shots on goal. He has been without a point in four NHL games this season but has been an offensive force at the AHL level, tallying 28 goals and 75 points in 61 games with the Crunch.

Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Hits 70-point plateau
Raddysh scored a goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens.
Raddysh is tied for third overall in goals (22) from the blue line, and his 70 points are the sixth-best total for that position this season. Raddysh has had a breakout season, but we don't know how he can keep this up in future seasons. Be ready to make an offseason trade in dynasty or keeper formats, especially if he caps this dream season off with a long and successful playoff run. Raddysh's value will never be higher.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Losing end of playoff-style game
Vasilevskiy made 19 saves in a 2-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
It was a playoff-style game, and it could be a preview of a Round One match-up come the postseason. Vasilevskiy is no longer in sole possession of the win title for NHL goalies -- Karel Vejmelka of Utah sits in a tie with Vasy with 37 wins. He may get a rest before season's end so he's ready for the playoffs, but the win title probably isn't his biggest worry. Vasilevskiy's overall stats sit no worse than third overall in any big category.

Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Good to return
Cirelli (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday versus Montreal, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Cirelli missed Tampa Bay's past two games. He has 23 goals and 52 points in 68 outings in 2025-26. Conor Geekie is projected to be a healthy scratch due to Cirelli's return.

Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Not ready to return
Hagel (lower body) isn't ready to return Thursday versus Montreal, but head coach Jon Cooper hopes to have him back before the end of the regular season, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Hagel hasn't been in the lineup since March 31. He has 35 goals and 73 points in 69 outings in 2025-26. Gage Goncalves is serving in an increased role during Hagel's absence.

Lightning's Declan Carlile: Activated off injured reserve
Carlile (lower body) was activated off long-term injured reserve Thursday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Carlile has been sidelined since mid-March due to his lower-body injury, but he'll be able to return to game action with just under a week remaining in the regular season. Across 38 appearances this year, he's recorded a goal, two assists, 46 hits, 30 blocked shots and 23 PIM while averaging 14:37 of ice time.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Tending twine Thursday
Vasilevskiy will be between the visiting pipes in Montreal on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
