Paul scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win against Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Paul's empty-netter helped seal the win for Tampa Bay with just under two minutes left to play. With the goal, Paul has scored in his previous three games dating back to Feb. 8 before the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Overall, Paul is up to 17 goals, 31 points and 92 shots on net in 50 appearances this year. Tampa's third-line center has eight goals since the start of 2025 but only three assists in 22 outings in that span. While better options are likely on the waiver wire in fantasy, he is close to the pace needed to set a career high in points, which he established with 46 points over 82 contests in 2023-24. If he can become a more consistent playmaker, he could have increased value in deeper leagues.
