Paul (undisclosed) is expected to remain out for a week before being re-evaluated.

Paul exited Tampa's game on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets after playing 10:38 time-on-ice due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old Paul, averaging 16:24 time-on-ice, is pacing for a career-best season, with 13 points (5G / 8A) in 17 games.

Paul (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Saturday vs. Florida after missing Friday's practice.

Paul was limited to only 9:37 time-on-ice in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche before exiting the game with an undisclosed injury and is expected to be a game-time decision on Saturday in Florida after also missing practice on Friday. Before his injury, Paul had four points (2G / 2A) in his last five games.

Paul has missed the Lightnings' previous two games due to an upper-body injury but is expected back in the lineup Tuesday vs. Colorado. The 27-year-old has 16 goals, 10 assists, 80 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 50 games prior to the injury.

The Lightning have signed Nick Paul to a seven-year, $22.05 million contract extension.

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.

The Lightning have acquired Nick Paul from the Senators for Mathieu Joseph and a 2024 fourth-round pick.

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 expected to miss at least one month with a high ankle sprain.

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.
