Raddysh notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh ended a three-game dry spell with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman fed Nikita Kucherov for the game-tying goal in the last minute of the third period, helping the Lightning salvage a standings point. Raddysh has 10 points over 17 contests since the start of January, and he's seen regular top-four usage in that time. He's up to 22 points, 70 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 43 appearances this season. After a slow start to 2024-25, he's back on pace to surpass the 33-point breakout campaign he had in the 2023-24 regular season.

Raddysh notched a power-play assist, six shots on goal, two hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh's four-game point streak ended Tuesday in Montreal, but the 28-year-old defenseman was able to contribute Friday. He helped out on Jake Guentzel's game-tying goal in the final minute of the third period. Raddysh is up to 21 points (six on the power play), 63 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-5 rating over 39 appearances. As long as he's seeing power-play time, he's worth a look in fantasy -- the Lightning are tied for fourth in the league, converting their power-play chances at a 28.3 percent rate.

Raddysh scored a goal and added an assist in a 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh is on a four-game, six-point scoring streak that includes two goals, four assists and 11 shots. He won't be able to keep up this pace. Few could, but Raddysh will help you in the short term.

Raddysh generated a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 5-1 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh helped out on Jake Guentzel's power-play marker before scoring a goal of his own on the man advantage in the middle frame of Saturday's victory. Raddysh added four shots on goal, one hit, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 18:05 of ice time. The right-shot blueliner has points in three consecutive games for the second time in 2024-25. He's provided decent fantasy value on the No. 1 pairing in addition to his spot on the second power-play unit, chipping in two goals, 16 assists and a plus-8 rating through 36 appearances in 2024-25.

Raddysh put up two assists in a 3-2 win over Carolina on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh has 14 points, including 13 assists, in 30 games this season. He's the lone defender on Tampa's second power-play unit, and one of Tuesday's helpers came with the man advantage. Unfortunately, Raddysh isn't a consistent producer in secondary categories (42 shots, 22 blocks, 13 hits), so his fantasy value is limited.

Raddysh produced an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh has five helpers over his last eight contests, and he's posted a plus-7 rating in that span. The 28-year-old blueliner continues to fill a top-four role in place of J.J. Moser (lower body), who is not expected back until late February at the earliest. Raddysh has 12 points, 35 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 26 outings, but fantasy managers should remember he had 33 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, so he could tap into a bit more offense moving forward.

Raddysh provided a pair of assists and three hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh has four helpers over his last five contests. The 28-year-old continues to fill a larger role with J.J. Moser (lower body) unavailable, with Raddysh now picking up top-four minutes and power-play time on the second unit. The blueliner has 11 points, 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 23 appearances. Raddysh is worth a look in deeper fantasy formats -- he was a 33-point producer in 2023-24 and the Lightning have one of the best offenses in the league.

Raddysh logged an assist, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh has a helper in each of the last two games and four of the last seven contests. The defenseman set up Brayden Point's go-ahead goal in the first period. Raddysh figures to see a larger power-play role as long as Victor Hedman (lower body) is out of the lineup. For the season, Raddysh has nine points, 26 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances this season. He's playing well enough now to see at least steady third-pairing usage at even strength.

Raddysh registered a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh was pressed into a larger role Thursday -- Erik Cernak (lower body) was ruled out early in the day, Victor Hedman (lower body) was a late scratch and J.J. Moser (undisclosed) got hurt during the game. Raddysh ended up seeing 23:38 of ice time, easily a season high. He has three helpers over his last six contests, but this was his first power-play point of the year. He earned seven of his 33 points last season with the man advantage. Raddysh is at eight points, 23 shots on net and a plus-2 rating through 19 appearances, but he could get a chance to recapture last year's magic if the Lightning's injury woes persist into Saturday's game in Seattle.

Raddysh supplied an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Raddysh has gotten to play regularly in recent games, serving as a seventh defenseman during injury absences for multiple forwards. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to six points, 18 shots on net, nine blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 14 appearances. Raddysh figures to compete with Nick Perbix and Emil Lilleberg for playing time once the Lightning's roster is closer to fully healthy.
