2025 Fantasy Outlook
Paul had a career-high 46 points over 82 regular-season games in 2023-24, and he followed that up with 41 points across 76 appearances last campaign. He also added two goals in five playoff outings for a second straight year. Paul may have found his offensive ceiling, crossing the 20-goal plateau and recording 40-plus points in each of the last two seasons. However, his hit and faceoff totals suffered in 2024-25. He split time between the top six and bottom six, which cut into his playing time, and he logged fewer minutes on the first power-play unit. However, Paul could reach similar statistics in 2025-26 while playing up and down the lineup as one of the Lightning's most versatile forwards. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a seven-year, $22.05 million contract extension with the Lightning in July of 2022.
Tallies in Sunday's shootout win
Paul scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.
ANALYSIS
Paul has been playing on the fourth line recently, though his versatility has seen him take some extra shifts outside of that role. The 30-year-old has earned five points over 13 outings in December. He's up to four goals, nine points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-1 rating through 19 appearances.

2015
Paul set career highs in 2023-24 with 24 goals and 46 points in 82 regular-season games, but that's about a best-case scenario for him. The 29-year-old was getting plenty of playing time with 17:16 per contest, and he was shooting at a career-high 15.7 percent. If anything, he'll probably do a little worse offensively this campaign, though he will offer a bit of versatility for fantasy managers by supplying 100-125 hits. He's also strong on the draw, having won 54 percent of his faceoffs, 1,026 in total, over the past two seasons.
