Paul left Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on Paul's status post-game, so consider him questionable to play Thursday vs. Colorado until the Lightning provides an update on his status.

Paul left Thursday's game vs. The Hurricanes with an undisclosed injury and was not on the ice for Friday's practice. If Paul can't play, expect Vladislav Namestnikov to move up into the top-6.

The Lightning acquired Paul from the Senators at the trade deadline and made an instant impact in Tampa. He had 23 points (10G / 13A) in 44 regular season and playoff games combined. The Lightning clearly liked what they had in Paul, making a seven-year commitment to him with a $3.15M AAV cap-hit.

Paul is a strong two-way forward, who will help the Lightning third line but won't provide a lot of offence. Paul has scored 11 goals and seven assists (18 points) in 59 games this season. Look for him to start on a line with Ross Colton and Brandon Hagel.

Paul is the Senators' biggest trade chip as we near Monday's trade deadline, so he will sit out of Friday's game vs. the Flyers.

With Paul out, Logan Shaw and Clark Bishop have been recalled from the taxi squad and will suit up on Saturday.

Paul was missing from the Senators' morning skate and will be a game-time decision tonight in Winnipeg. Look for Cedric Paquette to draw in for Paul if he's unable to go.

Paul missed the last 10 games with an ankle injury but has been activated from IR and is expected to replace Vladislav Namestnikov in the lineup. Paul has scored six goals with seven assists (13 points) in 38 games this season.

Paul suffered a high ankle sprain last week and there isn't an exact timeline on his return, but head coach DJ Smith expects him to miss at least four weeks. Paul had just started to heat up, scoring three goals with one assist in his five games before getting hurt.

Paul was hurt midway through Tuesday's game in Washington and did not accompany the team to Detroit. With Paul out, Connor Brown is back in the Senators top-6 and Rudlofs Balcers will see some power-play time.

Paul had one goal and three assists in three games with Belleville (AHL) before being recalled on Monday. Paul will draw-in on the Senators' fourth line with Jordan Szwarz and Scott Sabourin and has eight points (4G / 4A) in 56 career NHL games.

Paul has had a strong start to the season, scoring one goal with three assists in three AHL games. The 24-year-old is a candidate to draw into the lineup on Monday afternoon and comes up with eight points (4G / 4A) in 56 career NHL games.

Paul was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will draw back into the Senators lineup on Saturday. Paul has just one assist and a minus-7 rating in 17 games.

Paul has been in the lineup for the last four games but did no record a point. Magnus Paajarvi (undisclosed) will replace him on the Senators third line.

With Matt Duchene going on IR, Paul comes up from the AHL again. Paul has two goals and nine assists (11 points) in 15 games with Belleville this season but just seven points (3G / 4A) in 42 career NHL games, including six this season.

Paul has registered one assist in six games with the Senators this season. He returns to Belleville, where he has six points (2G / 4A) in six games.
