Lightning's Nick Paul: Surprising six-game point streak
Paul scored the game-winning goal Monday in a 3-2 overtime victory over Nashville.
It was a sweet wrist shot from the low slot off a backdoor feed from Jake Guentzel. Paul has quietly put up six points (three goals, three assists) on his current six-game streak. The second line looks good on this guy. Check your wire. Paul won't help on the power play, but you can't ignore his 5-on-5 contributions.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Nets goal Monday
Paul scored an even-strength goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Paul has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's found a way to crack the scoresheet in all but one of his five appearances so far. He's up to two goals, three assists, four penalty minutes, 10 shots and eight hits in his five outings while seeing consistent ice time as a middle-six forward and a member of the second power-play unit.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Scores in Saturday's loss
Paul scored a goal on three shots and added four PIM in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.
Paul picked up his first goal and fourth point of the season when he tied the game at 2-2 midway through the second period. The 29-year-old continues to play in a middle-six role. He's added eight shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating over four contests. A point-per-game pace is too much to expect from Paul, but he can chip in decent depth scoring and hits, giving him fantasy value in deeper formats.

Paul broke out offensively in the regular season, adding 24 goals, 22 assists and 14 power-play points -- those were all career-high marks for the versatile forward, who commanded a seven-year, $22.05 million deal with the Lightning in July of 2022.

Lightning's Nick Paul: New career mark for points
Paul had two assists Thursday in a 6-3 loss to Calgary.
Paul plays an important role for the Bolts, and that has afforded him significant ice time this season. He has now put up three consecutive 32-plus point seasons (64 games; 17 goals, 17 assists). And Paul's 34 points this season are a career high. So are his 12 power-play points. Unfortunately, his minus-20 rating is an anchor for those in leagues that count that stat. Paul's fantasy value is limited.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Will play vs. Panthers
Paul (undisclosed) is good to play Saturday against Florida, according to Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.
Paul has 14 goals and 29 points in 55 outings in 2023-24. He left Thursday's 6-3 win over Colorado due to the injury, but the 28-year-old won't end up missing a full game. He's projected to serve on the second line alongside Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli.

Paul (undisclosed) is set to be sidelined against the Panthers on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Paul has played in all 55 games for the Bolts this season, racking up 14 goals and 15 assists, but he'll now find himself watching from the press box. With Paul out of the lineup, Michael Eyssimont is expected to move into a top-six role and could see additional power-play ice time versus Florida.

Paul (undisclosed) didn't play in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Avalanche, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
There was no information on Paul's injury following the contest. Until another update is available, he should be considered day-to-day. If he can't play Saturday versus the Panthers, Austin Watson would likely enter the lineup while Conor Sheary could see a bigger role.

Lightning's Nick Paul: On career pace
Paul had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
Paul got the game's first goal at 15:40 of the opening frame when he scored from the slot on a rebound while on the man advantage. The winger is on a 45-point pace this season, which would establish a new career high. He has been impressive on the power play, contributing seven goals and five assists. However, Paul tends to score points in bursts. In his last eight games, he has accumulated six points, but those points have only come in three of those games. Paul best fits in deep leagues where you ride performance over a long period. It's almost impossible to market time a skater like him.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Six points in last two games
Paul had a goal and two assists Thursday in a 5-4 win over Vegas.
Paul's goal, which came with 1:13 remaining, stood as the winner. He scored on a rebound on a sharp angle deep in the left circle after Jiri Patera directed a rebound wide and away from the net. Luckily for Paul, Patera couldn't get back into the net in enough time. After stumbling through his last 19 games with only four points, Paul has exploded with two straight three-point games. He's playing with Brayden Point at even strength and is once again slotted onto the power play. Paul is worth nabbing off the wire as long as this gig continues.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Three points in win

The forward had gone nine games without a point entering Saturday, mainly seeing third-line usage in that span. He's up to nine goals, three helpers, 57 shots on net, 21 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating through 29 appearances.

Lightning's Nick Paul: Lights lamp twice in win
Paul scored two goals, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.
The 28-year-old snapped a brief four-game point drought with the performance, and both of Paul's tallies came as a result of him being in the right place at the right time to bang home a rebound. He set a new career high with 17 goals in 80 games last season, but Paul is on track to shatter that mark in 2023-24 as he's already tickled twine seven times in 13 contests.
