Kings' Tanner Jeannot: Nets goal in high-scoring loss
Rotowire
Jeannot scored a goal, doled out three hits and added seven PIM in Monday's 8-7 overtime loss to the Senators.
Jeannot's third-period tally tied the game at 7-7, and that helped the Kings' eke out a standings point in a wild matinee game. The winger, who was traded from the Lightning to the Kings in a draft-day trade in June, has settled into a middle-six role with no power-play time with his new team. His goal was his first point in three games to go with nine hits and seven PIM, and his biggest contributions are likely to remain in the physical categories.
The Kings acquired Jeannot from the Lightning on Saturday in exchange for the No. 118 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft and a 2025 second-round selection.
Tampa Bay moves on from a failed experiment, and Jeannot gets a fresh chance in a system where his style of hockey may be better appreciated. He may not return to the 41-point mark he reached in 2021-22 with Nashville, but Jeannot will add some grit to the Kings. He provided seven goals, 14 points, 75 PIM and 211 hits in 55 appearances during the 2023-24 campaign.

Rotowire
Jeannot (lower body) could be an option to play during the Lightning's four-game road trip after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters Monday, "Let's hope he's going to play on this trip. I suspect he will, just not sure when," per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.
Jeannot has played in just one of Tampa Bay's last 26 games due to two separate injuries, including this latest lower-body problem.

Rotowire
Jeannot (undisclosed) is expected to miss at least another week of action. Coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "He's probably going to be out like another week or so and then we can make a decision after that.

Rotowire
Jeannot (lower body) was transferred to long-term injured reserve Wednesday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Lightning's Tanner Jeannot: Making trip with team
Rotowire
Jeannot (lower body) will travel with the Lightning for their four-game road trip but won't be an option at first, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Monday.
Jeannot figures to sit out the Bolts' back-to-back before being in the mix for a spot in the lineup. Before his nine-game stint on injured reserve, the 26-year-old forward was stuck in a rut with a 14-game goal drought during which he registered just 14 shots to go with two helpers. Once cleared to play, Jeannot figures to replace Alex Barre-Boulet or Mitchell Chaffee for a spot in the lineup.
