Lightning’s J.J. Moser Out 8-10 Weeks

December 19, 2024 at 3:38 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 2 Comments

The Lightning announced that defenseman J.J. Moser will miss an additional eight to 10 weeks with a lower-body injury, likely knocking him out of the lineup through at least the 4 Nations Face-Off. Moser has been on injured reserve since Saturday and hasn’t played since Dec. 12 against the Flames, so there’s no corresponding roster move to be made.

Moser made an early exit from the Calgary game after sustaining a non-contact injury, falling to the ice and leading to a highlight-reel goal by Calgary center Nazem Kadri in a series of unfortunate events. The Lightning didn’t disclose any further information, but a timeline of that length likely suggests he underwent surgery, so some structural damage to the leg or knee likely needed fixing. It’s the first, albeit major, health-related blip in what has otherwise been a very solid season for Moser.

Acquired from Utah in the shocking draft-day Mikhail Sergachev swap, Moser has 10 points and a +13 rating through his first 27 games as a Bolt. He’s averaged 19:54 per game, down slightly from last year’s usage with the Coyotes, but has spent most of his time on the team’s top pairing with Victor Hedman while controlling 56.1% of expected goals, per MoneyPuck. Needless to say, Tampa has gotten more than what they paid for out of Moser after signing the restricted free agent to a two-year, $6.75MM bridge deal over the summer.

The 24-year-old Swiss native will now endure the longest injury-related absence of his four-year NHL career. Darren Raddysh has been Hedman’s other frequent even-strength partner this season and figures to factor into top-pairing minutes for the foreseeable future. After breaking out for 33 points in 82 games last season, Raddysh has nine in 21 this year while averaging 16:09 per game and serving as a semi-frequent healthy scratch, although he’s now played in 11 straight games dating back to Nov. 21.

    That injury was truly weird. Watching the clip repeatedly, it almost looks like Naz tripped Moser up, but he was actually going airborne to avoid him. It’s as though Moser broke his leg tripping over the blue line. That sometimes suggests “catching a rut”.

    This really sucks for Moser who’s having a really solid season in Tampa. He’s been a valuable asset without question. It’s a shame he’ll be out until February now. Based on the trajectory, I’m estimating he will return on February 23rd against Seattle at home immediately after the 2 week break of the 4 Nations tournament.

    I suspect Tampa will carry on just having 6 defenseman on the main roster unless otherwise needed.
