Lightning's Zach Bogosian: Puts up assist

Bogosian collected an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights. Bogosian helped out on Anthony Cirelli's game-tying goal at 17:50 of the second period. The assist snapped a 10-game point drought for Bogosian. The 31-year-old is up to five points, 27 shots on net, 47 hits, 34 PIM and a plus-1 rating in 18 appearances. Since he's mainly a defensive presence, he won't have much appeal in fantasy.

Lightning's Zach Bogosian: Slated to play Tuesday

Bogosian (lower body) is expected back in the lineup against the Kings on Tuesday, Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site reports. Considering Bogosian hasn't reached the 20-point threshold since 2015-16 when he was with the Sabres, fantasy players shouldn't be banking on the defenseman offering much in the way of offensive production. With Bogosian healthy, Fredrik Claesson is the most likely candidate to be relegated to the press box, though Cal Foote could also be in danger of dropping from the lineup.
