McDonagh (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Thursday and is slated to return to the lineup versus Winnipeg, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 at 12:10 PM

Head coach Jon Cooper said Thursday that McDonagh (lower body) won't play over the weekend but is now considered day-to-day, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Scouting Report

Has settled into more of a shutdown role in his 30s, though he is not a zero offensively. Is still capable of logging big minutes every night because he is a strong skater who can play in all situations. Has great hockey sense and he also moves well. Can play a shutdown role with aplomb because he can make life difficult for opposing forwards (while adding some scoring). Is not a great option on the power play, though.

Long Range Potential: Solid, two-way defenseman.
