Overview
- Tampa Bay announced a one-year extension for D’Astous worth $875,000 for the 2026–27 season.
- In his rookie campaign he has 13 points in 33 games and averages 19:05 per night while running the second power-play unit.
- He was cut after training camp, recalled following an injury to Maxwell Crozier, and then logged 33 consecutive NHL appearances.
- Team metrics show defensive concerns with 3.4 goals against per 60 at even strength when he is on the ice, the worst on the roster.
- The move removes him from the Lightning’s pending UFA group, which now features Oliver Bjorkstrand, Darren Raddysh, Declan Carlile and Curtis Douglas.
