Coleman recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman set up Barclay Goodrow for the empty-net goal in the third period, which was the latter's second tally of the game. The 29-year-old Coleman has flown under the radar a bit early in 2020-21, but he has two goals, four assists and 21 shots through eight games. He's added 10 hits and a plus-5 rating, but a lack of power-play time lowers the ceiling for Coleman's potential.

Coleman notched two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old had been held off the scoresheet for three straight games coming into this one, but Coleman was able to break out with helpers on goals in the first and second periods. Despite his mini-slump, Coleman has a solid two goals and five points through six games as he fills a secondary role in the potent Tampa offense.

Head coach Jon Cooper said that Coleman was scratched for Saturday's loss to the Blue Jackets because he missed a team meeting, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cooper relayed that he didn't know why Coleman missed the meeting, but team rules dictated that he'd be benched for this contest as a result. The 29-year-old likely will be back in action for Tuesday's game against the Hurricanes. Through three games this year, Coleman has posted two goals and an assist.

Coleman (coach's decision) isn't on the ice for warmups, indicating he won't be in the lineup for Saturday's clash with Columbus, Lightning Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Coleman out of the lineup, Alexander Volkov will hop onto the Lightning's third line against the Blue Jackets. Coleman's scratch from Saturday's contest has been deemed a coach's decision, so he'll hope to get back on bench boss Jon Cooper's good side ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Hurricanes.

Coleman is no longer listed in the COVID-19 protocol, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman had resided on the list since Monday, and as evidenced by this news, he won't be forced to miss any game time. The 29-year-old is coming off a solid game Saturday, collecting a goal and assist in the 5-2 win over Chicago. Expect Coleman to assume his usual bottom-six role in the lineup for Thursday's game against Columbus.

Coleman will be placed in COVID-19 protocol Monday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman hasn't officially be ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Stars, but there's a good chance that the 29-year-old winger is unavailable. If that's the case, either Alexander Volkov or Gemel Smith will slot into the bottom six in Coleman's place.

Coleman scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman collected his first two points of the year, with his goal standing as the game-winner Friday. He also assisted center Yanni Gourde for the Lightning's fourth goal. Coleman added a pair of hits Friday -- while his offense rarely jumps off the stats page, the 29-year-old winger is no stranger to brute force on the ice. He should be an effective depth scorer in a third-line role.

Coleman scored a goal on a team-leading five shots in Monday's 2-0 win over Dallas in Game 6. He also chipped in with four hits.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman gave the Lightning a 2-0 cushion when he converted a one-timer from the right faceoff circle 7:01 into the second period. It was his first goal of the Stanley Cup Finals and snapped his seven-game goal drought. A trade deadline acquisition from New Jersey, Coleman notched 13 points in his 25 playoff games and added length to the Tampa Bay lineup in his bottom-six role.

Coleman had an assist, six hits and four PIM in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Stars in Game 1.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman set up Yanni Gourde for the goal at 12:32 of the first period. Both of Coleman's minor penalties came in the second period, but the Stars failed to cash in on either power-play opportunity. Through 20 games, Coleman has four goals, seven assists, 53 shots on goal and 95 hits as a productive and physical presence on the third line. DFS managers may want to budget to add the 28-year-old for Monday's Game 2.

Coleman scored a goal on three shots and added a trio of hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman's goal came just 15 seconds after New York's Brock Nelson had opened the scoring midway through the second period. Yanni Gourde made a long lead pass to spring Coleman on a breakaway, and the 28-year-old deked Semyon Varlamov to tie the game. It was Coleman's fourth goal of the playoffs and snapped his six-game goal drought. The trade deadline acquisition from New Jersey has nine points in 17 playoff tilts.
