Lightning keep the road points rolling with 2-1 shootout win over Chicago

There weren’t many who expected this game to be as close as it was, but the Chicago Blackhawks took everything the Tampa Bay Lightning could throw at them for most of the night. In the end, it took a shootout for the Lightning to pick up the two points in a chilly Chicago. Successful shootout attempts by Nikita Kucherov, who shushed the crowd after they serenaded him with boos during his attempt…

Lightning’s point streak comes to emphatic end with 8-5 loss to Blue Jackets

Here it is. The tape of tonight’s game. Go ahead and burn it. Could we spend the next two-thousand words picking out everything that went wrong tonight? Sure, but it would probably take more than two-thousand words. They were on the back foot early with sloppy puck control and Columbus took advantage. Was it fatigue? Was it fate? It doesn’t really matter. Despite fighting back twice from…

Lightning recall forward from Syracuse

In our preview today, we speculated that the Tampa Bay Lightning might go with an 11/7 line-up if Big Jack Finley isn’t able to suit up today. While that is still a possibility, the Lightning gave themselves another option as they recalled forward Jakob Pelletier from Syracuse prior to their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The free agent signing was recalled earlier this year and made…

Lightning recall Max Groshev as another defenseman heads to injured reserve

We were so close to having some good news in regards to the Tampa Bay Lightning injury situation. Ryan McDonagh was upgraded to day-to-day. Victor Hedman was skating. Things were starting to come together. Then the Columbus game happened. With Max Crozier already out due to an illness, the Lightning lost both Erik Cernak (checked into the boards) and Charle-Edouard D’Astous (knee-on-knee collision…

Vasilevskiy wins goaltending duel as Lightning top Mammoth, 2-0

Clayton Keller was behind the Tampa Bay Lightning defense with nothing but open air between him and Andrei Vasilevskiy. The three-time 30-goal scorer had the puck on his stick and a chance to tie the game. All he had to do was slide the puck past the Lightning goaltender. For the briefest of seconds, there was daylight between the pads, but when the backhand shot was released…

Rough stretch there with that Columbus game, but you can't dwell on it too long. Every team has nights where nothing clicks and 8-5 is definitely one of those "burn the tape" situations. The injury news is what really concerns me though - losing both Cernak and D'Astous in the same game on top of the other guys already out is brutal timing.

At least the bounce back against Utah was solid. Vasilevskiy doing Vasilevskiy things with that shutout. That Keller save sounds like it was vintage Vasy - giving you just enough daylight to think you've got a chance, then slamming the door. The guy's been doing that for years and it still amazes me every time.

The Pelletier and Groshev recalls make sense given the circumstances. Depth is getting tested right now. Hopefully McDonagh being upgraded to day-to-day and Hedman skating means the cavalry is coming soon. Just need to tread water until the blue line gets healthy again.

32-14-4 is still a great spot to be sitting at game 51. One ugly loss doesn't change that.
 
Recent moves indicate Lightning defenseman may be close to returning to

It finally looks like Tampa Bay Lightning might be getting some of their injured blueliners back into the line-up. While the team wasn’t on the ice for practice on Tuesday, off the ice, the organization made a couple of moves that indicate at least one of their injured defenseman may be ready to go. With the Lightning re-assigning Simon Lundmark and Jakob Pelletier, the door is open for Ryan…

It’s the most victories they’ve had in a month since they went 12-1-2 in February of 2019. It was a fast-paced game with a willing opponent in Winnipeg…

Victor Hedman is back (hopefully). What does it mean?

Victor Hedman has been on the ice at practice. He’s been on the ice for morning skates. Now it looks like he’ll be on the ice for the Tampa Bay Lightning’s outdoor contest against the Boston Bruins on Sunday night. Reports are that the Lightning captain will be ready to make his return as the team entertains the hockey world. While it’s not 100% official, everything points to The Big Swede playing…

Reports: Anthony Cirelli to miss Olympics

Well, it looks like Coach Jon Cooper isn’t going to have one of his most trusted forwards for Team Canada in the upcoming Olympic Games in Italy. Reports have surfaced that Anthony Cirelli will not be able to participate after suffering an injury in the Tampa Bay Lightning’s victory over the Boston Bruins. To add insult to injury, he’s being replaced on the roster by a Panther.

Nikita Kucherov’s four-point night leads Lightning to 4-3 overtime victory over Sabres

Down three centers to start the game, and with their lines in a bit of a blender, the Tampa Bay Lightning still found a way to pull two points out of a game as Darren Raddysh tied it at the death, and Nikita Kucherov found Jake Guentzel in open ice in overtime. Guentzel didn’t miss as he beat Colton Ellis through the five-hole to give the Lightning the 4-3 overtime victory.

Darren Raddysh has become a problem (in a good way)

Out of all of the players having success for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season, the unlikeliest of them is Darren Raddysh. A healthy scratch at points early in the season, there was some speculation that he might not even make it to the new year on the roster. Not only did he stick around, he found himself on the top pairing and is having a career season. So why is he a problem? Well.
