Questions

Who is out for the Lightning?

1 Lightning player is listed out or on injured reserve right now: Yanni Gourde (C). 1 more is day-to-day. Each entry shows the injury and the reported expected return, which is an estimate rather than a promise.

When does the Lightning injury report come out?

The NHL has no league-mandated injury report. Clubs announce injuries and lineup changes when they choose, most often after the morning skate on game day, and often describe injuries only as upper or lower body. This page rebuilds through the day from ESPN's injury data, which follows those announcements.

How many points are the Lightning projected for in 2026-27?

106.4 points on average across 20,000 simulated seasons, from a 7-2-0 start. That gives the Lightning a 84% chance to make the playoffs and 9% to win the Stanley Cup. The rating behind it uses game results only, never betting lines.

Statuses compiled from public team announcements via ESPN's injury data, refreshed through the day. “Back ~” is the reported expected return, not a promise. Probable goalies are ESPN's expected starters and are confirmed by the club after the morning skate. See also NHL predictions and tonight's starting goalies.
