Sergachev (lower body) will not be in the lineup Thursday versus Vegas, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sergachev was injured while blocking a shot in the opening period of Tuesday's matchup with St. Louis, and he was unable to return. The hope is that Sergachev will miss only a game or two, according to coach Jon Cooper. Sergachev has two goals, 17 assists and 69 blocked shots in 33 games this season. Look for Calvin de Haan to take Sergachev's place in the lineup against the Golden Knights.

Sergachev (lower body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Sergachev was injured in the first period and ruled out for the rest of the game during the second intermission. He was hurt on a blocked shots. If he can't play Thursday versus the Golden Knights, Calvin de Haan will likely enter the lineup while Haydn Fleury and Darren Raddysh could see a bump in ice time.

Sergachev notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
With Victor Hedman (upper body) out, Sergachev played a season-high 26:37 in this contest. The 25-year-old snapped his three-game point drought by setting up Brayden Point's tally in the first period. Sergachev has four assists over his last 10 contests, a sluggish run for a strong all-around blueliner. He's at 18 points, 49 shots on net, 26 hits, 62 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 30 outings this season.

Sergachev had a goal and two assists in a 6-4 victory over Edmonton on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
After a slow start to the season, Sergachev has really picked up the scoring pace with eight points (two goals, six assists) in his last seven games, including five (two goals, three assists) in his last two. Much has been made of Sergachev's slow start and his lack of output on the power play. But he's flirting with a 60-point pace and another double-digit season in goals, courtesy of this warming trend. You may still find a few disgruntled managers who may be prepared to move him. Remember -- any deal is for the future production and not the frustration of the past. Sergachev's best is yet to come this season.

EDGE Analysis
Sergachev put the Lightning ahead 2-1 midway through the second period, firing a slapshot through traffic for his first goal of the season. The 25-year-old blueliner would add a second point with an assist on Brandon Hagel's empty-netter in the third. Sergachev came into the day with just three assists in his previous eight contests. Overall, he's up to 10 points (one goal, nine assists) through his first 17 games this year.

Sergachev picked up an assist in a 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It came on the power play. It was Sergachev's 200th NHL assist. He recorded his first NHL point on Oct. 6, 2017 in a 5-3 win over the Panthers. All of his points have come with the Lightning.

Sergachev had two assists in a 6-0 win over the Sharks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He fed Brayden Point for the first Lightning goal at 1:41 of the first period, and then Sergachev earned a power-play helper on Steven Stamkos' snipe in the last minute of the first frame. Sergachev is on a three-game, four-assist streak, but his current 50-plus point pace has been overshadowed by Victor Hedman's better than a point-per-game pace out of the blocks. The power-play helper is a good sign for Sergachev because Hedman has been getting more of the PP1 time to date. We're confident Sergachev will continue to build on his success of last season. Relax -- no need to stress.

Sergachev has one assist and a minus-5 rating in three games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Sergachev is logging heavy ice time, but coach Jon Cooper has moved Victor Hedman back to PP1 over him, at least to start the season. The Bolts have struggled to stop opponents without Andrei Vasilevskiy guarding the blue paint behind them. That means increased pressure on all Bolts' skaters and especially the defenders. Sergachev should get his points, but the next couple months could be challenging for his managers to navigate.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis
One of the helpers came on the power play. Sergachev took a huge leap forward this season and finished with 10 goals and 54 assists, including 27 power-play points (three goals, 24 assists). Heading into the postseason, one of Sergachev and Victor Hedman (rest) will be on the ice for most of each contest.
