Player of the Week: Nick Paul

Nick Paul recorded multi-point nights in each of the Lightning's games last week.

On Monday against Boston, Paul scored twice in the 5-3 defeat. He opened the scoring nine minutes into the opening period, taking a feed from Steven Stamkos in the slot and wiring his shot past Linus Ullmark. Down by three midway through the third, Paul made it a two-goal game with a power play one-timer from the right circle.

Paul backed up that performance with another two points in Friday's 5-2 victory over the Blues. From his knees, Paul threaded a feed through the middle of the ice to Alex Killorn to set up Tampa Bay's second goal of the night. He then iced the victory in the third with an empty net goal in the final four minutes of regulation.
Paul's nine goals this season are the third-most on the team through 20 games.
