McDonagh (undisclosed) agreed to terms on a three-year, $12.3 million contract extension with Tampa Bay on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh -- who is currently on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury -- is on his second stint with the Lightning, having spent five seasons with the organization from 2017-2022. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran blueliner was chipping in well offensively with three goals and three helpers in 15 appearances. While McDonagh won't be much of a factor with the man advantage, he should still be capable of pushing for the 30-point threshold -- assuming he gets back into the lineup sooner rather than later.

McDonagh (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

After being injured in Saturday's 3-2 win over Washington, McDonagh will miss the next few games. He hasn't been practicing, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has recorded three goals, six points, 15 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and eight hits through 15 appearances this season. McDonagh's move to the IR list frees up a roster spot for the Lightning to recall a blueliner from AHL Syracuse ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

McDonagh (undisclosed) will miss at least a few games, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh probably won't be an option for Tampa Bay's next three games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. McDonagh isn't quite day-to-day yet, though head coach Jon Cooper said after Tuesday's practice that the 36-year-old defenseman could be at that stage soon. Victor Hedman (undisclosed) and Max Crozier (undisclosed) are also dealing with injuries, making it unclear who will replace McDonagh in Wednesday's lineup.

McDonagh (undisclosed) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh sustained an injury and didn't take the ice after the first intermission. The 36-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day for now. He'll have some extra time to heal up, as the Lightning don't play until Wednesday's home game versus the Rangers.

McDonagh scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 loss to Chicago on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh has three points, including two goals, in his last two games, and he has put up five points (three goals, two assists) in seven games this season. The 36-year-old defender isn't a really an offensive force, even if he does have three 40-plus point seasons under his belt. McDonagh's last big season was 2018-19. This run won't last, but take advantage while it does.

McDonagh scored a goal in a 3-2 loss to Columbus on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh fired a wrist shot from the top of the left circle that deflected off Jet Greaves' glove and the crossbar and went in. The goal tied the game 1-1 at 12:42 of the first. McDonagh has delivered three points, including two goals, in his last five games. His best offensive seasons are behind him, but the veteran defender can deliver a third consecutive 30-plus point campaign with a strong plus-minus and as many as 150 blocks.

McDonagh scored a goal in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Late in the second period, McDonagh made the score 3-2 with a one-timer from above the left circle that beat Jacob Markstrom to the stick side. McDonagh's 36 years old with more than 1,000 regular-season games under his belt (1,012). He will get a lot of ice time, but his fantasy value is limited.

McDonagh posted two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Panthers in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh has three helpers, five shots on net, five hits, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over three playoff contests. He had a hand in goals by Nick Paul and Jake Guentzel in this contest. McDonagh's top-four role isn't in question, and he's been providing well-rounded numbers with a bit of offense and plenty of defensive work over the last two months.

McDonagh provided an assist in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh has nine points over his last 13 outings. The 35-year-old shutdown defenseman is finding ways to make a positive impact on offense as well, but he'll always take care of his own zone first. He had a total of 31 points, 78 shots on net, 152 blocked shots and a plus-43 rating over 82 regular-season contests, playing in every game for the first time since 2018-19. McDonagh is the Lightning's second-most important blueliner behind Victor Hedman.

McDonagh scored a goal in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

McDonagh has two goals and six assists over his last 10 contests. The 35-year-old has continued to chip in offense from a top-four role despite rarely seeing power-play time. For the season, the defenseman is at four goals, 31 points, 77 shots on net, 151 blocked shots and an NHL-best plus-44 rating, which is also the best plus-minus rating of his career.
