News Lightning Team Notes

Scott Sabourin suspended 4 games by the NHL, J.J. Moser 2 games, Lightning fined

The first ban-hammer from the NHL Department of Player Safety has been swung, and swung hard. Tampa Bay Lightning/Syracuse Crunch forward Scott Sabourin has been suspended for four games by DoPS for his actions in the Lightning’s fight-filled affair against the Florida Panthers on Saturday night. Okay. There is a little bit to unpack in this video.

2025 Tampa Bay Lightning Top 25 Under 25: #10 Maxim Groshev

Max Groshev, more like Max Chaos. The young winger converted to defense last season to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a type of player they really don’t have in their system. What Maxim Groshev is trying to do is not easy. Plenty of hockey players have moved from offense to defense at lower stages in their career, but to try it at the second-best level of hockey…

The 2025-26 Tampa Bay Lightning and NHL predictions post

Gather round all you Lightning faithful. For it is time to make up some season-long predictions about our favorite hockey team. Will we hold ourselves accountable for these bold guesses at future events? Sure, in so much that we’ll write a follow-up post in the summer laughing at how bad we did (future content!). If anyone has been around these parts for a few years, you will know that I…

Checking in on some former Bolts

With the NHL season officially under way, it’s time to look back and see where some old friends ended up now that the rosters have been finalized. It was a summer of try-out contracts for most of the players that left the team, but most of them have ended up as actual contracts. Conor Sheary – New York Rangers Sheary, who had his contract mutually terminated just prior to free agency…

Highlight: First Tampa Bay Lightning Goal of the Season – Oliver Bjorkstrand

It didn’t take long for the Tampa Bay Lightning to get on the board, and it came from one of the areas of their game that folks might have had some questions about – the power play. The goal came off of the stick of the relatively new guy on the unit in Oliver Bjorkstrand. Oliver Bjorkstrand (Jake Guentzel, Brayden Point) Power Play It’s not a really…

Lightning drop “disappointing” opener to Senators, 5-3

There were so many positive numbers for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Nikita Kucherov had two goals. The power play went 2-for-3. Andrei Vasilevskiy had 29 saves. Curtis Douglas knocked out a veteran fighter eight seconds into his first NHL shift. Yet, in the end, a lack of execution allowed two points to slip through their fingers as the Ottawa Senators scored four goals in a row on their way to a…

Taking a look at how the new guys played in their first Lightning game

With one game in the books it’s that time. Yup, it’s time to make a snap judgement about the new players that will last for their entire career with the Tampa Bay Lightning! Okay, maybe that’s being a little dramatic, but since there is no hockey to watch tonight (what’s up with that, NHL?) why not waste a few electrons on a quick breakdown of how the Lightning’s two newest players…

Some more thoughts on…the start of the season

Well now. This isn’t exactly what we were expecting out of the gates, now was it? The Tampa Bay Lightning are two games into the season, and for the first time under Jon Cooper’s tenure, they are still searching for their first win. That’s right, not since Steven Stamkos was a rookie and Barry Melrose was behind the bench have the Lightning woken up to see 0-2 next to their name in the standings.

Lightning stumble, fall to Devils, 5-3

In their first game, the Tampa Bay Lightning started fast, then stopped skating in a 5-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators. In their second game they never got out of the gate as the New Jersey Devils outplayed them heavily in the first period, scoring three times, on their way to a 5-3 win. After a second period rally brought the Bolts within a goal, the Devils scored two goals in less than two minutes…

Lightning score early, defend late to pick up 4-3 victory over the Bruins

With a 4-1 lead early in the second period it seemed like the Tampa Bay Lightning were well on their way to an easy victory over the Boston Bruins. Any experienced Bolts fan knew that they do very few things the easy way. Sure enough, the Bruins scored twice more in the second period to slice the lead to just one goal. However, the Lightning defense put together a solid third period…

Lightning lose tightly-played game in overtime to Capitals, 3-2

In a building where wins have been few and far between for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and on the second half of a back-to-back, the Bolts managed to grab the lead twice against the Washington Capitals. What they couldn’t do was hold the lead. A power play goal on a deflection by Tom Wilson tied the game in the third period, and a back-door, seeing-eye shot by Jakob Chychrun was the difference in the…

Lightning trade Pheonix Copley

Pheonix Copley’s forwarded mail had barely begun arriving before he was on the move again. After the Lightning claimed him on waivers two weeks ago, they traded him back to the Los Angeles Kings for the always popular future considerations. Hopefully, Julien BriseBois gets a nice steak from Ken Holland the next time he’s in Los Angeles. In short, it cost the Lightning nothing but a paycheck…

Crunch Wrap: Syracuse takes two from Hershey to open the season

It’s a new day in Syracuse as they start the season with a roster filled with new faces. The new and the old started the season with a couple of wins as they went down to Hershey, Pennsylvania to get the year going on the right foot. The goal is to have these up every Tuesday, but we’ll see how things go. Syracuse Crunch 5 – Hershey Bears – 2 The Lines: Dylan Duke…

Lightning battle, but fall in overtime (again) to Red Wings, 2-1

The mantra since the Tampa Bay Lightning’s overtime loss to Washington on Tuesday was that they needed to shoot the puck more. So what do they do? Spend the first 13 minutes of the game not shooting the puck. By the time Conor Geekie registered their first shot at the 13:37 mark, they were down 1-0 to the Red Wings. A flurry of activity in the third period that led to J.J. Moser’s first goal of…

Some more thoughts on… Brandon Hagel, the offense, and a slow start

The Tampa Bay Lightning are getting a bit of a break after a pair of back-to-backs on the road. It went, okay. They picked up their first win (against Boston of all teams) and then a pair of points in overtime losses before ending things with a loss to Columbus. It’s nice that they picked up a couple of points, but when the dust settled and the plane touched down at Tampa International…
