Cameron Atkinson - Up from minors Atkinson was called up by Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

Impact Although Atkinson was sent to AHL Syracuse on March 5, he didn't end up playing for the minor-league club before being recalled. The 35-year-old has three goals and eight points in 37 appearances with Tampa Bay in 2024-25. He might draw into the lineup Thursday versus Philadelphia if Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) is unavailable.

J.J. Moser - No points since return Moser was held off the scoresheet for the ninth straight game in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Since his 27-game absence due to a lower-body injury, Moser has been quiet all around. He's picked up nine shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating since rejoining the lineup Feb. 23 versus the Kraken. The 25-year-old blueliner is still seeing a shutdown role in the top four, so his offense should eventually come around a bit thanks to his significant ice time. He's at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 27 hits and a plus-12 rating while averaging 19:39 of ice time over 36 appearances.

Gage Goncalves - Third goal of season Goncalves scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Impact Goncalves cut the score to 3-1 early in the third period with a goal from above the hash marks. It was his third goal of the season. Goncalves is skating on the third line with newcomers Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand. It's a great opportunity for the winger to grow his game and gain experience. But it won't likely make him fantasy relevant, at least this season. Goncalves has three goals, seven hits, 42 hits, 12 blocks and 39 shots in 42 games this season.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Can't win them all Vasilevskiy made 27 saves in a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Impact His team played well for the first half of the game, but they really chased the game after the Canes got their second goal. Vasilevskiy couldn't hold back the Canes snipers. Bottom line, the superstar can't win them all.

Nikita Kucherov - Misses third period Tuesday Kucherov (undisclosed) did not play in the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Kucherov was reportedly under the weather earlier in the day, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun, but it's unclear if that was the reason for his absence to close out the contest, as head coach Jon Cooper did not provide a specific update. Kucherov can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

Victor Hedman - Good to go Tuesday Hedman (lower body) will play against Carolina on Tuesday.

Impact After missing one game, Hedman will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit. He has amassed 11 goals, 50 points, 141 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and 30 hits through 60 appearances this season. Tampa Bay will dress seven defenders and 11 forwards in Tuesday's lineup, making Mitchell Chaffee a healthy scratch.

Victor Hedman - Status uncertain for Tuesday Hedman (lower body) will be on the ice for warmups and is a game-time decision for Tuesday's road meeting with the Hurricanes, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun...

Impact Hedman took the ice for pregame line rushes Saturday against the Bruins but ended up sitting out that contest, so his status will be worth monitoring leading up to puck drop Tuesday. If the veteran blueliner is unable to suit up against the Canes, Nick Perbix will draw back into the lineup. Hedman has provided 11 goals, 50 points and a plus-14 rating across 60 appearances in 2024-25.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Set to start against Carolina Vasilevskiy will be in the road net Tuesday against the Hurricanes, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Impact After winning seven straight games to close out February, Vasilevskiy has faltered a bit in March, posting a 2-2-0 record, .897 save percentage and 2.78 GAA across four outings. Carolina sits 11th in the league with 3.19 goals per game this season. The Big Cat has fared well against the Hurricanes over 23 career contests, earning a 15-5-3 record, 2.21 GAA and .930 save percentage.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - No-fault loss against Bruins Vasilevskiy made 21 saves in a 4-0 loss to Boston on Saturday. He allowed three goals.

Impact This loss was definitely not on Vasilevskiy. The first Boston goal was an own goal when Oliver Bjorkstrand tried to clear the puck from the crease and instead hit Vasy's pad and the puck went into the net. The second was a high-slot delection by his own defender on a clear-in from outside the blue line that caught the netminder out of the net. The third was an empty netter, and the fourth was on a 2-on-1. Vasilevskiy is 10-2-1 in his last 13 starts dating back to the end of January.
