Joseph left Sunday's game in Calgary with a lower-body injury and did not return. Head coach DJ Smith did not have an update on Joseph post-game, so expect to hear something after Tuesday's morning skate.
Joseph has two goals, seven assists, 28 SOG, 12 PIMs and a +3 plus/minus through 25 games this season but will be a healthy scratch Wednesday vs. the Penguins. Josh Norris' return to the lineup (injury) is the reason Joseph will head to the press box.
Joseph suffered a lower-body injury Thursday vs. Dallas and will miss the Senator's game Saturday against Nashville. The 25-year-old had two goals, nine points, 28 SOG and is a +3 plus/minus prior to the injury.
Joseph suffered an undisclosed injury in Detroit on Tuesday and head coach DJ Smith said his injury is a "little worse than we thought" and that they may not get him back this season.
Joseph was a fourth-round pick in 2015 and has not produced a lot offensively, playing largely in a depth role with the Lightning. In Ottawa, Joseph should play higher up the lineup and could find a little more offence. The 25-year-old has scored eight goals with 10 assists (18 points) in 58 games this season.
Joseph was banged up early in Sunday's game in Minnesota and he is not expected to play Tuesday in St. Louis. With Joseph out, Gabriel Fortier was recalled from the AHL and will make his NHL debut in Joseph's place.
After a solid rookie season, Joseph struggled in his first 34 NHL games this season. Since going down to Syracuse, the 23-year-old has scored five goals with nine assists (14 points) in 20 AHL games.
Joseph appeared in three straight games, playing 11:03 ATOI but failing to record a point. It's been a tough season for the 22-year-old, who played the entire 2018-19 season with Tampa Bay. He heads back to Syracuse, where he has one goal in two games.
Joseph scored one goal in two games with the Crunch after being sent down. He comes back up with Tyler Johnson out with a lower-body injury. The 22-year-old has just four goals and three assists (seven points) in 31 NHL games this year.
Joseph started the season at a decent pace, posting seven points (4G / 3A) while playing 12:36 ATOI in his first 21 games but has no points and a minus-4 rating while playing just 9:43 ATOI in his last 10. He'll go back to Syracuse to get his game back in order, which means that Mitchell Stephens will remain with the Lightning and play on the fourth line on Thursday.
Joseph has not scored a goal in 12 games and has just one assist over that span. The winger took two penalties (six PIMS) in Saturday’s game and will be replaced by Mitchell Stephens, who will be making his NHL debut.
As expected, Joseph’s stint with the Crunch was very short-lived, he likely never actually left the team. The move was made to give the Lightning an extra defenseman for Tuesday’s game and Joseph is waiver-exempt.
