Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. - D'Astous exited Sunday's Game 1 against Montreal and was unavailable for Game 2 on Tuesday.

April 22, 2026 D'Astous (undisclosed) will join the Lightning on the road for Game 3 against the Canadiens on Friday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. - D'Astous is far from a lock to play in Game 3, but the fact that he is going to be on the trip with the team bodes well for a short-term absence. If the 28-year-old Quebec native does get back into the lineup, it figures to come at the expense of Declan Carlile, who will likely return to the press box as a healthy scratch. None
April 20, 2026 D'Astous (undisclosed) is doubtful for Game 2 against Montreal on Tuesday, according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times. - D'Astous was absent from Monday's practice after being injured in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canadiens in Game 1.

April 4, 2026 D'Astous scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over Boston. - D'Astous buried his own rebound from a sharp angle on the left side early in the third period. He has eight points (two goals, six assists) over his past seven games; he was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. D'Astous is a great daily play right now. He's one point from 30 points in his first NHL season. None
March 28, 2026 D'Astous had a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over Ottawa on Saturday. - D'Astous tied the game 2-2 with a shot from above the hash marks that beat James Reimer stick side. The 27-year-old defenseman's point streak stands at three games and five points (one goal, four assists). D'Astous has five goals, 21 assists, 86 hits, 67 blocks and 65 shots in 60 games this season. None
March 26, 2026 D'Astous had two assists in a 4-3 overtime win over Seattle on Thursday. - D'Astous has 24 points, including 20 assists, in 59 games this season. Four of those helpers have come in the last five games. D'Astous has 84 hits, 80 PIM, 65 blocks and 64 shots overall. None
March 14, 2026 D'Astous scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Carolina. - The depth defender crashed the net and finished a 2-on-1 rush with Brayden Point in the second period; it tied the game 2-2. D'Astous last scored a goal on Dec. 9, 2025 -- that was 30 games ago. He has 20 points (four goals, 16 assists) in 53 games this season, but he has just seven points (one goals, six assists) in his last 21 games. D'Astous has been a solid play on the Bolts' third pairing, and he has 78 PIM, 73 hits and 59 blocks overall. None
Feb. 26, 2026 D'Astous registered two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs. - D'Astous picked up both of his helpers in the second period, where he slid the primary pass on Brayden Point's goal before adding a secondary helper on Gage Concalves' tally. With the pair of apples, D'Astous is up to 16 assists, 19 points, 52 shots on goal, 54 hits and 45 blocked shots across 44 games this season. Wednesday's two-point performance was the 27-year-old's second of the calendar year and raised his point total to 10 over his last 17 games. With a role on the team's second power-play unit, the rookie blueliner is becoming a low-end fantasy option to roster in deep leagues due to his solid category coverage. None
Feb. 24, 2026 D'Astous (lower body) is expected to be an option for Wednesday's home contest against the Maple Leafs, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site. - D'Astous missed the Lightning's last five games before the Olympic break due to his injury. The team's blue line is almost at full strength, so it remains to be seen how the coaching staff will handle deploying its defensemen going forward. D'Astous has collected three goals (two game-winners), 17 points, 52 shots, 53 hits, 45 blocks and 57 PIM over 43 appearances in 2025-26. None
Jan. 25, 2026 D'Astous has been placed on injured reserve by the Lightning, Lightning beat writer Diandra Loux reports. - D'Astous left Saturday's game in the third period and didn't return, one of three Lightning players to not finish the game. The 27-year-old will head to injured reserve, meaning he'll have to miss at least the next four games. He has 17 points (three goals, 14 assists) in 43 games on the season. Maxim Groshev was recalled and will likely draw into the lineup as a result. None
Jan. 24, 2026 D'Astous left Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets in the third period, and there was no update on his status after the game, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports. - D'Astous was one of three Lightning skaters to exit the contest, along with Gage Goncalves (undisclosed) and Erik Cernak (upper body). Max Crozier (illness) also missed the game, leaving the Lightning incredibly thin on defense heading into Monday's home game versus the Mammoth. D'Astous can be considered day-to-day until an update is provided. None
Jan. 10, 2026 D'Astous put up two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday. - D'Astous has been quite reliable offensively of late, putting up seven assists in his last nine games. He doesn't fire a lot of shots (42), but he has managed 16 points, including 13 assists, in 35 games this season. D'Astous is a great story -- he's a 27-year-old journeyman who made his NHL debut this season after a path that took him from the QMJHL through the ECHL and AHL to Finland and Sweden before he arrived back in North America this season. D'Astous has always put up points wherever he's played, too, so he could be a streaming option when he's rolling like he is right now. None
Jan. 2, 2026 D'Astous agreed to terms on a one-year, $875,000 contract extension with Tampa Bay on Friday. - D'Astous has gone 10 games without finding the back of the net, registering four assists, 12 shots and 13 hits along the way. Still, it's been a strong rookie campaign for the 27-year-old blueliner, generating three goals and 10 helpers, including two with the man advantage, in his 33 contests this year. None
Dec. 20, 2025 D'Astous picked up two assists in a 6-4 win over Carolina on Saturday. - D'Astous is having a pinch-me-I'm-dreaming season. He's paired with Ryan McDonagh on the Bolts' second pair, and he has 11 points, including eight assists, in 28 games this season. D'Astous won't contribute much in secondary categories, but he's having a great season, especially as an undrafted 27-year-old who made his NHL debut this year. None
Dec. 9, 2025 D'Astous scored a goal Tuesday in a 6-1 win over Montreal. - He also finished plus-5 and had five shots in 23:46. D'Astous' ice time shot up Tuesday when the Bolts juggled its D when Victor Hedman left in the first period with an undisclosed injury. There is no timeline for Hedman's return. It was D'Astous' first goal in seven games (one assist). Overall, he has three goals, six assists and 26 shots in 23 games. None
Nov. 26, 2025 D'Astous scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames. - D'Astous' tally at 1:26 of the first period stood as the game-winner. The 27-year-old blueliner has emerged as a reliable player in his own zone as well as a power-play option on the second unit in his first NHL campaign. For the year, he has two goals, seven points, 13 shots on net, 15 PIM, 20 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating in 16 appearances. He's earned two of his points over the last three games. None
Nov. 9, 2025 D'Astous notched two assists and three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Capitals. - D'Astous helped out on goals by Emil Lilleberg and Brandon Hagel to earn his first multi-point effort. The 27-year-old D'Astous also logged a season-high 19:37 of ice time, filling the void created when Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) left the game early. D'Astous is the latest diamond in the rough uncovered by head coach Jon Cooper, and he's stepped into a regular bottom-four role. The blueliner has five points, eight shots on net, 11 hits, four blocked shots, nine PIM and a plus-1 rating over his first eight NHL appearances. None
Oct. 28, 2025 D'Astous scored a goal Tuesday in a 5-2 win over Nashville. - It was his first NHL goal and stood as the eventual winner. D'Astous jumped into the play, took a pass from Brayden Point on a 3-on-2 and beat Juuse Saros with a wrist shot from the slot. It was the 27-year-old's third NHL game. Nice memory for D'Astous, but he's not a fantasy guy. None
Oct. 20, 2025 D'Astous was summoned from AHL Syracuse on Monday. - In a corresponding move, the Lightning assigned Conor Geekie to the minors. D'Astous has one goal and two assists in four AHL appearances this season. The 27-year-old blueliner doesn't have any NHL experience, and it's unclear if he will make his debut against Chicago on Thursday. None
Oct. 12, 2025 D'Astous scored a goal on five shots and added two assists in AHL Syracuse's 5-2 win over Hershey on Saturday. - D'Astous is back in North America after three years playing in Europe. Over his first stint in the AHL, he had two goals and four assists across 23 games, though his scoring touch from the blue line was more prevalent at the ECHL level. D'Astous probably won't see much action for the Lightning, but the organization has a talent for finding hidden gems, so don't rule out the 27-year-old. None
May 5, 2025 D'Astous signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Monday. - D'Astous played in the Swedish Hockey League this year and logged 12 goals and 39 points over 49 appearances with Brynas IF. It wouldn't be surprising to see him spend most of the 2025-26 season in the minors. None
