Sergachev remains day-to-day and is expected to play shortly after the Christmas break. Haydn Fleury will remain in the Lightning lineup Saturday in Washington and Darren Raddysh will continue to operate the Lightning No.2 PP unit.
Sergachev exited Tuesday's 6-1 win over the St. Louis Blues in the first period after playing only 4:31 time-on-ice with a lower-body injury. He was seen at the practice facility working on his stick handling but did not participate in on-ice drills as he avoided putting weight on his left foot. That said, the worst seems to have been avoided and he will only miss 1-2 games. Sergachev has taken a decreased role this year after a career-best 2022-23 campaign where he scored 64 points (10G / 54A) in 79 games, but still has 19 points (2G / 17A) and ranks second amongst all players, averaging 22:59 time-on-ice through 33 games this season.

Sergachev has taken a decreased role this year after a career-best 2022-23 campaign where he scored 64 points (10G / 54A) in 79 games, but will still be a major loss for Tampa Bay if he is out of the lineup for a significant period. The 25-year-old defenseman has 19 points (2G / 17A) and ranks second amongst all players, averaging 22:59 time-on-ice through 33 games this season.
Sergachev has missed the Lightning's previous two games due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup Tuesday. He has been having a fantastic breakout season, with five goals, 22 assists, 48 SOG and a 13 PPP through 29 games this season prior to his injury.
Sergachev will miss his first game of the 2022-23 season as he deals with an undisclosed injury Thursday. The 24-year-old has been enjoying an incredible breakout season, with five goals, 22 assists, 24 PIMs and 48 SOG through 28 games. He currently is on a three-game point streak (1G/3A) and will hope to be back sooner rather than later.

Sergachev was banged up in Thursday's preseason game and has yet to practice since, but head coach Jon Cooper expects him to play good-to-go on Tuesday. Sergachev had seven goals and 31 assists (38 points) in 78 games a season ago.
The Lightning are set to play four games in six days this week but lost both goalies, Sergachev and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare to COVID-19 on Sunday and both Anthony Cirelli and Andrej Sustr on Monday. With Sergachev out, Darren Raddysh is expected to make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Sergachev has served his two-game suspension and will return to the Lightning lineup vs. the Panthers. Sergachev will replace Erik Cernak, who is week-to-week with an upper-body injury. Sergachev has scored two goals with four assists (six points) in 10 games this season.
As originally expected, it is Sergachev’s turn to sit in the Lightning’s defence rotation. Sergachev will likely draw back into the lineup in New York on Wednesday.
Sergachev was a healthy scratch for the last two games but based on the morning skate he should re-enter the lineup on Tuesday and play with Anton Stralman. He might be back on the second power-play unit as well as it looks like Victor Hedman will also be back in the lineup and take his spot back on the top unit.
