The Tampa Bay Lightning are set to activate defenseman Ryan McDonagh for their game against the Winnipeg Jets, marking his return after missing nearly two months due to injuries this season. McDonagh has played only 18 games, scoring four goals and eight points, while the team has thrived without him, boasting a 13-1-1 record during his second absence. With a recent three-year, $12.3MM contract extension, McDonagh’s health is crucial for the team’s success moving forward. Given his age and injury history, the Lightning should manage his return carefully.
