Paul Carey News

Carey failed to pick up a point in five games with the Senators earlier this season but has 19 points (4G / 15A) in 20 AHL games.

Paquette missed Monday’s game in Nashville after getting hurt late in Saturday’s game in Philadelphia. Paquette, who has just four points (3G / 1A) in 20 games this season, averaging just 11:35 TOI/gm. He will replace Danick Martel on the fourth line.

Paquette will miss Monday’s game in Nashville with a lower-body injury that he suffered late in Saturday’s win in Philadelphia. Danick Martel will replace Paquette on the fourth line.

Paquette has been in the lineup for the last eight games but he will be a healthy scratch this afternoon with Nikita Kucherov (upper-body) re-entering the lineup.

Paquette has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since October 17th, but he is very close to return to the Lightning lineup. The 24-year-old will be a game-time decision vs. Chicago and comes into tonight with one assist in six games this season.

Paquette is dealing with a lower-body injury and puts his status for tonight’s game in question. The bottom-6 forward has just one assist and two shots on goal in six games this season—stay away from him in fantasy circles.

Paquette will miss tonight’s game with an undisclosed injury, but head coach Jon Cooper said that he doesn’t “see [it] as a long term thing.” With Paquette out, Gabriel Dumont will draw into the Lightning lineup.

Carey has been recalled to serve as an extra forward during the Capitals’ upcoming road trip. The 28-year-old has had a great season in Hershey, having collected 24 goals and 31 assists (55 points) in 55 games this season. He hasn’t been able to translate that into NHL success—he has just two points (1G / 1A) in 30 career NHL games.

Paquette did not travel on the Lightning’s two-game road trip, so he won’t play Monday or Tuesday. There has been no update on the severity of Paquette’s injury, so monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s home game vs. the Maple Leafs.

Paquette suffered a lower-body injury on Thursday and is listed as day-to-day and will miss tonight’s game vs. Florida. The Lightning will also be without Tyler Johnson and Vladislav Namestnikov, so expect them to go with 11 forwards and seven defenseman.

Carey was recalled prior to Monday’s game in case Tom Wilson couldn’t play, with Wilson playing, Carey sat out as a healthy scratch and was returned to the AHL on Tuesday.

On Sunday, Liam O’Brien was recalled to replace T.J. Oshie on Monday and now Carey has been called up because Tom Wilson is questionable to play vs. Montreal. Carey has picked up 10 goals and 15 assists (25 points) in 28 games with Hershey this season.
