Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Slides assist Tuesday
Lilleberg registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jackets.
Lilleberg has two helpers over his last 10 contests. The 23-year-old defenseman has occasionally chipped in on offense, but he's not as proficient in that area. He remains listed on the third pairing, but the absence of J.J. Moser (lower body) looks to be opening the door for Lilleberg to see more ice time -- he's been over 16 minutes in six straight games. The Norwegian blueliner has eight helpers, 16 shots on net, 30 PIM, 23 blocked shots and 48 hits through 26 appearances.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Puts up helper in win
Lilleberg notched an assist and two PIM in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.
Lilleberg led all Lightning skaters with 20:58 of ice time -- he picked up the slack as the top regulars got rest in a blowout win. The 23-year-old has five helpers over his last 11 contests, which is a level of offense typically unseen out of the blueliner so far in his young career. He's up to seven assists, 13 shots on net, 36 hits, 28 PIM, 15 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 21 appearances, which is already better than his five helpers in 37 regular-season outings in 2023-24.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Manages assist in loss
Lilleberg posted an assist in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.
Lilleberg has seen a limited role on the third pairing this season, and it's reduced further when the Lightning dress seven blueliners as they did Saturday. Despite his minimal playing time -- he's averaging 13:32 per game -- he's picked up six helpers over 16 contests, including four assists in his last six games. Lilleberg also has 26 hits, 13 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-2 rating this season.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Slings helper Thursday
Lilleberg notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Flyers.
Lilleberg has been a rotational option on defense for the Lightning, though he could stick in the lineup if Erik Cernak (undisclosed) misses time after exiting Thursday's game. Through 11 appearances, Lilleberg has three assists, four shots on net, 16 hits, eight blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating. He'll likely see bottom-four usage when he plays.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Offers assist in win
Lilleberg notched an assist and five hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Lilleberg is not guaranteed a spot in the lineup, but he has appeared in two of the Lightning's three games so far. Even when he suits up, it's been in a very limited third-pairing role so far. In 2023-24, the 23-year-old defenseman accumulated five assists, 31 shots on net, 105 hits and 48 blocked shots over 37 regular-season appearances. With no clear path to top-four minutes, he's unlikely to be an option in most fantasy formats.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Secures two-year extension
Lilleberg penned a two-year, $1.6 million contract extension with the Lightning on Tuesday.
Perhaps most noteworthy is the fact that Lilleberg's new deal is a one-way contract, which makes it harder to move him between the NHL and AHL once his new deal begins in 2025-26. For now, the 23-year-old defenseman will likely continue dividing his time between levels, though the free-agency departure of Calvin de Haan should open up a spot on the blue line.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Headed for minors
Lilleberg was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.
Lilleberg will join up with the Crunch, who are tied 1-1 in a best-of-five series against AHL Rochester. At the NHL level this season, the 23-year-old blueliner played in 37 regular-season games in which he tallied five helpers, 105 hits and 31 shots, though he is still looking for his first NHL goal.

Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Gathers helper
Lilleberg notched an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Bruins.
The helper snapped an 11-game point drought for Lilleberg. The 23-year-old defenseman has played most frequently in a bottom-four role this season, though he's rotated regularly with Calvin de Haan in recent weeks. Lilleberg is at four assists, 20 shots on net, 78 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 27 appearances.

Lilleberg was called up from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

Lightning's Emil Martinsen Lilleberg: Returns to minors
Martinsen Lilleberg was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.
Martinsen Lilleberg has three assists in 23 appearances with Tampa Bay in 2023-24. He's also provided a goal and 12 points in 31 outings with Syracuse. He could be in for an extended stay in the minors due to the Lightning's acquisition of Matt Dumba at the trade deadline.

Lightning's Emil Martinsen Lilleberg: Strong defender gets assist
Martinsen Lilleberg picked up an assist Thursday in a 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
Martinsen Lilleberg's strong suit is his physicality -- he's big and strong, and he closes with a lot of speed on opposing forwards. His skating is good, and he has a stay-at-home profile. Martinsen Lilleberg has managed two helpers in nine NHL games this season -- don't expect big numbers over time.
