Lilleberg (undisclosed) was labeled as week-to-week by head coach Jon Cooper, who told reporters Monday he was hoping to have the defenseman back before the Olympic break, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering the Olympic break isn't until February, it certainly doesn't sound like Lilleberg is going to be back anytime soon. With just three points in his last 15 outings, the blueliner doesn't offer much in the way of offensive productivity, though he did chip in 33 hits and 19 blocks over that stretch. Lilleberg's extended absence will open up a spot on the blue line for Steve Santini until Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) is ready to come off of injured reserve.

Lilleberg (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lilleberg will have to miss the Lightning's next three games at least, though it could be longer, considering the team hasn't provided any details regarding the severity or nature of his undisclosed injury. With the 24-year-old blueliner on the shelf, Steve Santini was called up from the minors and should suit up on the third pairing against the Panthers on Monday.

Lilleberg (undisclosed) didn't play in the third period of Saturday's game versus the Islanders, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lilleberg's status was not updated after the game, leaving him questionable for Monday versus the Panthers. If he can't play, the Lightning will likely need to make a roster move for a blueliner.

Lilleberg scored a goal on his lone shot on target, blocked one shot, racked up two penalty minutes and held a plus-2 rating during his 16:02 of ice time in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the least amount of ice time of any of the team's dressed defenseman, Lilleberg turned in a really solid game. The 24-year-old was one of three Lightning players to finish the contest with a plus-2 rating and also found the back of the net for the second time in his last three games. Once Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) are ready to return, it will be interesting to see how Lilleberg will fit in, if at all.

Lilleberg scored a goal in a 3-2 win over Washington on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He took a pass from Jake Guentzel, but didn't connect with it clean, and it knuckled past Logan Thompson. It was Lilleberg's first goal and second point of the season (15 games).

Lilleberg notched an assist and three blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Lilleberg's first point of the season. The 24-year-old defenseman has added eight shots on net, 17 hits, 11 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a minus-3 rating. He's a tough customer, but he had just 19 points in 76 regular-season outings last year, so don't expect a lot of offense. Lilleberg should be a bottom-four regular on the Lightning's blue line.

Lilleberg logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
Lilleberg picked up his first point of the postseason when he helped out on a Mitchell Chaffee tally in the second period. The 24-year-old Lilleberg has added seven hits, three blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over four playoff contests. He had 19 points, 105 PIM, 46 shots on net, 114 hits and 61 blocks over 76 regular-season outings in his second NHL campaign.

Lilleberg scored a goal, logged two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
It took until his 111th game, but Lilleberg finally has his first NHL goal. He stretched the Lightning's lead to 5-2 at 16:45 of the second period, and that tally held up as the game-winner. It also snapped a seven-game point drought for the 24-year-old blueliner. He's been effective in his role as a physical defenseman in 2024-25, earning 19 points, 45 shots on net, 105 PIM, 113 hits, 59 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 74 appearances.
