Nick Paul Collects Three Points On Opening Night
1 year agoTampa Bay Lightning forward Nick Paul enjoyed a three-point effort on Tuesday night as the Bolts earned a 5-3 victory over the visiting Nashville Predators. The veteran pivot knotted the game at two apiece early in the second period before banging home a rebound midway through the third period, a tally that would stand as the game-winner on opening night. He later assisted on Nikita Kucherov's empty-net goal to seal the victory with just over a second left in the contest. The 28-year-old also added three shots on goal and a blocked shot as part of his 16:12 of ice time on the evening. Paul is coming off a career-high 17-goal season in 2022-23 but is a more useful player to the Lightning than he is to any fantasy rosters as he should be left alone in all formats moving forward.
