Kraken's Michael Eyssimont: Capitalizes on turnover
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Canucks.
Eyssimont corralled an errant pass in the neutral zone and cut into the Canucks' zone, gaining enough separation for a clean shot on the opening goal. That tally held up as the game-winner, his first such goal as a member of the Kraken. He's earned five points in 14 games with Seattle and has a total of 15 points, 132 shots on net, 103 hits, 63 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 71 appearances this season when accounting for his time with the Lightning prior to the trade deadline.

Kraken's Michael Eyssimont: Puts up assist
Rotowire
Eyssimont notched an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Oilers.
Eyssimont has three points over his last six contests. He remains in a fourth-line role, but he's played that part fairly well since joining the Kraken at the trade deadline. The 28-year-old forward is up to 14 points, 126 shots on net, 94 hits, 54 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 68 outings between the Kraken and the Lightning this season. While his offense has been acceptable lately, it's typically not enough to help most fantasy managers.

Kraken's Michael Eyssimont: Records helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Eyssimont posted an assist, five shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Eyssimont is up to three points over seven contests since the Kraken acquired him from the Lightning. The 28-year-old forward has played in a fourth-line role, but that's not holding him back much.

Kraken's Michael Eyssimont: Lights lamp in overtime loss
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
Eyssimont has two goals over six games since he was traded to the Kraken from the Lightning. The 28-year-old forward has occupied a fourth-line role with his new team, and given the Kraken's lesser offense compared to the Lightning, that could lead to fewer points for Eyssimont over the last month of the season. He's at seven goals, 12 points, 111 shots on net, 89 hits and 48 PIM through 63 appearances in 2024-25.

Kraken's Michael Eyssimont: Scores in team debut
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Predators.
Eyssimont tallied with 1:46 left in the contest, with his goal coming after Luke Evangelista's empty-netter. Still, it was something to show for Eyssimont in his Kraken debut after he was sent to Seattle from Tampa Bay in the Yanni Gourde/Oliver Bjorkstrand trade. Eyssimont is up to 11 points, 101 shots on net, 84 hits and an even plus-minus rating over 58 appearances this season. He adds grit and a little depth scoring -- he had 25 points in the 2023-24 regular season -- but his usage is likely to be limited to bottom-six minutes with his new team.

Kraken's Michael Eyssimont: Heading west
Rotowire
Eyssimont, two first-round picks (2026, 2027) and a 2025 second-round selection were acquired by Seattle from Tampa Bay on Wednesday in exchange for Yanni Gourde, Oliver Bjorkstrand and a 2026 fifth-round pick, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
Eyssimont has five goals, 10 points, 44 PIM and 82 hits over 57 appearances with the Lightning in 2024-25. This change of scenery probably won't change the fact that he primarily gets work on the fourth line. The 28-year-old is in the second season of his two-year, $1.6 million contract.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Nets equalizer Tuesday
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal on six shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Oilers.
Eyssimont has a goal and two assists during a three-game point streak. His six shots Tuesday represented a season high. He's trending upward, but as long as he remains on the fourth line, the 28-year-old has a low ceiling. He's at 10 points, 95 shots, 77 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 53 appearances.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Picks up assist in win
Rotowire
Eyssimont notched an assist and two hits in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canadiens.
Eyssimont ended a six-game point drought when he helped out on Zemgus Girgensons' goal in the second period. The 28-year-old Eyssimont was a scratch for a couple of games recently, and he's unlikely to see anything more than middle-six minutes since he hasn't been very consistent on offense this season. He's at eight points, 88 shots on net, 74 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 51 appearances in 2024-25.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Earns helper Tuesday
Rotowire
Eyssimont recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.
The Lightning shuffled their lines following Monday's 5-3 loss in Toronto, and Eyssimont certainly benefited. He was promoted to play alongside Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel, and Eyssimont was able to set up Guentzel's tally. If that promotion sticks, Eyssimont may be worth a look in fantasy despite having just three points over 22 contests since the start of December. The winger has a mere seven points with 80 shots on net, 65 hits and 36 PIM over 44 outings this season, but he put up 25 points across 81 regular-season games in 2023-24, so there is a little more potential than he's shown so far.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: First goal since November
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal and added five hits in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.
Eyssimont's tally at 19:10 of the second period ended up being the game-winner. It was his first point in 10 appearances and his first goal since Nov. 30 versus the Maple Leafs. The 28-year-old has been a regular in the Lightning's bottom six, but he's struggled with six points, 68 shots on net, 52 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 37 appearances. That level of offense is too low to help most fantasy managers, and a lack of outstanding non-scoring production isn't useful either.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Nabs helper Saturday
Rotowire
Eyssimont notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Eyssimont snapped a four-game point drought, though he had three goals over four contests prior to the slump. The 28-year-old helped out on Declan Carlile's first NHL goal late in the third period. Eyssimont is up to five points, 52 shots on net, 32 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 27 outings. He's filled a fourth-line role and looks unlikely to replicate his 25-point regular season from 2023-24.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Finds twine again
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Eyssimont is quickly turning things around, scoring all three of his goals this season over the last four games. He's up to four points, 45 shots on net, 25 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 22 appearances. Eyssimont figures to fill a slightly larger role while the Lightning are missing some of their regular wingers -- all of Nikita Kucherov, Nick Paul and Mitchell Chaffee were sidelined with undisclosed injuries Saturday. Outside of deep banger leagues, Eyssimont doesn't have much long-term appeal.

Eyssimont has scored in consecutive games after being limited to just one assist over his first 18 appearances this season.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Tacks on goal Monday
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 8-2 win over the Avalanche.
This was his first goal and second point of the campaign, ending an 11-game slump. Eyssimont has been a bottom-six fixture since he made his season debut Oct. 15 after missing Opening Night. He's added 36 shots on net, 18 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 19 contests. Eyssimont can chip in depth scoring, as evidenced by his 25-point campaign in 2023-24, but he's also down 1:07 of ice time per game in 2024-25, which limits his opportunities to contribute.

Lightning's Michael Eyssimont: Activated off non-roster list
Rotowire
Eyssimont (lower body) was taken off the injured non-roster list ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Vancouver, per the NHL media site.
Eyssimont has been working in a third-line role and will likely slot into that spot for Tuesday's tilt. In 81 regular-season outings last year, the 28-year-old Colorado native set new personal bests with 11 goals, 14 assists and 149 shots and could improve upon those numbers in 2024-25 if continues to be a full-time contributor.
