Sergachev produced an assist Monday in a 7-1 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Obviously, this was an ugly game for the Bolts, but Sergachev managing an assist on the lone goal serves as a subtle reminder of the outstanding campaign that he's having in 2022-23. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to six goals, 28 assists, 62 hits and 99 blocked shots through 47 games, plus he's registered 15 power-play points for a career-best pace in that key special teams spot.

Sergachev collected two assists while adding four shots on net, five hits, two PIM, a blocked shot and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-2 win over Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
It was a typically full line in the box score for Sergachev, although he was also mostly responsible for a short-handed tally by the Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek as the Tampa Bay defenseman whiffed as he tried to bat the puck out of the air at the Minnesota blue line before losing a race to Eriksson Ek, who then scored on a breakaway. Sergachev had only two points, both helpers, over his prior 10 games, but he remains on track for a career-best campaign with six goals and 33 points through 44 games.

Sergachev was fined the maximum $5,000 by the NHL Department of Player Safety for roughing Vancouver's Conor Garland on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Sergachev was not penalized for his misdeed. He had an assist Thursday and has six goals and 30 points in 38 games this season. Sergachev has been outstanding on the power play with two goals and 15 points in 2022-23.

Sergachev scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over Arizona.
EDGE Analysis
He wired a shot from the point that deflected off the stick of Arizona's Lawson Crouse and knuckled past Karel Vejmelka to knot the game 2-2. It was Sergachev's first goal since his Dec. 20 return from an upper-body injury. It has taken him a bit to get back up to speed since his return, but the defender now has two points (one goal, one assist) over his last three games. Victor Hedman has started to erode Sergachev's power-play time over the last month, so it may be hard for the 24-year-old to keep his torrid early season pace going.

Sergachev (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Blue Jackets, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sergachev blocked a shot in the Lightning's last game, and it appears he'll need to sit out a game. Haydn Fleury appears set to retain a spot in the lineup. Per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com, Sergachev is dealing with an upper-body issue and is considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game in Montreal.

Sergachev (undisclosed) is in doubt to face Columbus on Thursday. Coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "He is slightly banged up so he might not play tonight," per Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, Sergachev should be considered a game-time decision at best given Cooper's statement. Offensively, the blueliner has been at peak form of late with 17 points in his last 14 contests, including nine power-play points. If Sergachev does miss out Thursday, it could mean an increased role for Nick Perbix or Cal Foote.
