2025 Fantasy Outlook
Goncalves established himself as an NHL option for the Lightning in 2024-25, earning eight goals and 20 points over 60 regular-season games. He also had four points over five playoff games, which is a good sign for his staying power in the NHL moving forward. He also occasionally worked his way into a top-six role despite averaging 12:48 of ice time for most of the campaign. Goncalves is just 24 years old, so there's a little room for growth here, but his scoring is going to be dependent on where he slots into the lineup. The Lightning don't have much work to do to fill out the roster for 2025-26, so it could be tough for Goncalves to see second-line usage regularly unless injuries strike early and often in the campaign.
