Lightning pull off improbable comeback with 6-4 win over the Hurricanes

There are a lot of things you can say about this season’s Tampa Bay Lightning. Some of those things might even be of the negative variety. One thing that you can’t say is that this team doesn’t put out the effort. There have been some games over the past few seasons where the work ethic of the Lightning could be questioned. This season, there does seem to be a bit more of a desperation in their…

Three-point night for Raddysh leads Lightning to 4-1 win over Blues

After a slightly chaotic win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, the Tampa Bay Lightning made it two wins in a row with a business-like, 4-1, victory over the St. Louis Blues. Darren Raddysh led the way with a goal and two assists while Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 23-of-24 shots in the win. Their power play, which was 2-for-30 on home ice heading into the game, cashed in twice. The St.

2025 Tampa Bay Lightning Top 25 Under 25: #5 Sam O’Reilly

The newest prospect on the list is having another strong season in the Ontario Hockey League. Once he’s done in London, Sam O’Reilly could be heading to Syracuse this spring. Of all of the prospects that are in the system, Sam O’Reilly screams “ideal Lightning player” the loudest. He plays with a relentless motor. He is tough on a forecheck.

Tampa Bay Lightning fight their way to 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers

It was always going to happen at some point this season. While the first two match-ups during the regular season had their tense moments and questionable hits, things hadn’t boiled over like they did in the pre-season. That wasn’t the case in Saturday’s penalty-filled 4-2 win for the Tampa Bay Lightning over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers. Two goals, including an empty-netter…

Lightning start slow, score a few, stumble, recover to beat Montreal 5-4 in a shootout

Nikita Kucherov scored twice as the Lightning won their fourth game in a row and moved into a tie with Detroit atop of the Atlantic Division.

After a brief transaction freeze over the holiday break, Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois is closing out his 2025 season with at least one more deal. On Sunday the Lightning announced that they traded Boris Katchouk to the Minnesota Wild for forward Michael Milne.

Lightning recall Maxim Groshev, he’ll make his NHL debut against Montreal

Tonight, they get to add another name to the list – Maxim Groshev.

Lightning sign J.J. Moser to 8-year extension

It’s been more than a year since Julien BriseBois handed out a long-term contract. Not since Jake Guentzel’s free-agent deal in the summer of 2024 has the Lightning general manager handed out a maximum-length deal, and with his time frame for extending his own players for eight years narrowing due to the new CBA, we knew he had to sign at least one more big deal. So he had to be getting a little…

Lightning strike late to pull out 5-3 win against the Kings

After a night where offense was hard to come by for both teams, the Tampa Bay Lightning scored three times in the last 3:19 of the third-period to turn a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 victory. Anthony Cirelli tied it at the 16:41 mark and Gage Goncalves put the Bolts in the lead less than two minutes later as the Lightning run their winning streak to six games in a row.

Pontus Holmberg surprise addition to Sweden’s Olympic roster, joins Hedman

Way back in July, when the NHL released their initial six players for each country participating in the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Games Victor Hedman was a lock to make the roster. Sure, enough the Tampa Bay Lightning’s captain was part of that initial wave of players, and expressed delight at finally being able to represent his country at the preeminent international tournament for hockey.

Look, I gotta give credit where credit's due even though it pains me to say anything nice about a team that's not wearing blue and gold. The Lightning have been playing some solid hockey lately. Six game winning streak and Jon Cooper hitting 1000 games behind the bench? That's impressive stuff right there.

That comeback against the Kings scoring three times in the final 3:19 to flip a 3-2 deficit into a 5-3 win? That's the kind of clutch performance that wins championships, and we all know Tampa's got a couple of those banners hanging already. Cirelli and Goncalves stepping up when it mattered most.

And Hagel getting named to the Olympic roster and then going out and dropping three assists including the OT helper? Kid's got timing, I'll give him that. Raddysh potting the OT winner to cap off Cooper's milestone game is the kind of storybook stuff you can't make up.

Holmberg making Sweden's Olympic team is a bit of a surprise pick but good for him. Getting to play alongside Hedman on that international stage is gonna be a hell of an experience.

Now if only the Sabres could figure out how to string together more than two wins in a row, maybe I wouldn't have to sit here being impressed by other teams' success. But that's a rant for another day. Tampa's rolling right now and they're gonna be dangerous come playoff time if they keep this up.
 
Jake Guentzel named to Team USA Olympic Roster

The Tampa Bay Lightning officially have an Olympic Line on their roster. A couple of days after his linemates Brandon Hagel and Anthony Cirelli named to Team Canada’s roster, Jake Guentzel will be joining them (along with Brayden Point) on the flight over to Italy. Once the plane lands, they become rivals. The 31-year-old is one of 14 forwards that will be representing Team USA in the upcoming…
