Lightning sign college free agent forward

The Tampa Bay Lightning have had their fair share of drafted college players choose not to sign with the organization. Cole Gutman, Sammy Walker, and Eamon Powell are three rather recent examples of players who felt their path to the NHL lay in a different direction. Now it appears that the tables have turned a bit, and the Lightning are taking advantage of a team’s draft rights expiring on a…

2025 Tampa Bay Lightning Top 25 Under 25: #13 Dyllan Gill

It’s been an interesting few seasons for Dyllan Gill. He missed most of one season with a shoulder injury and then spent last season with the Syracuse Crunch before being reassigned to a new team in junior hockey. Hopefully this season is a bit calmer for the young defenseman. It was an interesting season for the then 20-year-old defenseman. He managed to crack…

Lightning Morning News: Tampa Bay picks up first win of the preseason

The Tampa Bay Lightning’s quest to never lose again got off to a good start as they took down the Carolina Hurricanes, 2-1, to kick off their preseason slate of games. Goals from Emil Lilleberg (!) and Mitchell Chaffee (on the power play) proved to be enough as Jonas Johansson stopped 30 of 31 shots. The dastardly Logan Stankoven broke up the shutout with a power play goal in the third period.

Lightning Morning News: Bolts make it two in a row

The Tampa Bay Lightning ran their record to 2-0 in the preseason as they defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 in a shootout on Tuesday night. It was a bit of a struggle for most of the night as the Lightning featured a rather young line-up against Nashville’s more veteran-based group which included a trio of ex-Bolts in Steven Stamkos, Nick Perbix, and Jonathan Marchessault.
