Latest blog entries from Tampa Bay teams across every league
We were treated to a split-squad day on Sunday, with Reynaldo Lopez starting at home against the Rays, backed by most of the regular bats remaining in camp after a few WBC departures and Grant Holmes starting on the road at the Twins’ facility, backed by mostly quad-A players and a few prospects. At home, […]
The Braves have their first split squad matchup of Spring today, as Reynaldo Lopez and most of the regulars on offense face Drew Rasumussen and the Rays at CoolToday Park and Grant Holmes leads a team of mostly veteran quad-A players plus John Gil at DH against Mick Abel and the Twins. You can see […]
Would WR Mike Evans be a ‘perfect’ free-agent signing for 49ers?“Evans made $20.5 million per year during his most recent contract with the Buccaneers, and it’s unclear if he’d want a similar deal. He’ll be 33 in August and is coming off a season in which he missed half the games due to various injuries. […]
If losing to the team chasing them in the standings wasn’t bad enough, the Tampa Bay Lightning are also facing the possiblity that two more players on their roster may be injured. In their uninspired 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, Gage Goncalves and Dominik James went to the locker room early. Goncalves was shaken up by hit along the boards in the second period and James had his leg twisted underneath (similar to the Brayden Point injury against Philadelphia) late in the third. The injur...

Jays 5 Rays 6 The Jays are now 1-5 with a tie, this spring. It wasn’t a good day for Eric Lauer. He went 1.2, allowed 3 hits, 3 earned, hit a batter, and gave up 3 earned. It is early, but if he wants a starting rotation spot, he should give up less runs […]

A few Rays pitchers have debuted new pitch shapes this spring — and they all have one thing in common: they’re offspeed pitches. That’s not a coincidence. The Rays are quietly building a pitching optimization template: preserve the fastball traits, kill lift on the offspeed, widen the vertical angle of approach (VAA) gap, and let […]
It was a tough night for goaltenders and public address announcers in Raleigh last night as the two teams combined for nine goals. For the Lightning, who were on the wrong end of the 5-3 score, it meant an end to their latest winning streak. After six victories, the Bolts were on the losing side for just the third time in 2026. During the winning streak they scored 25 goals while allowing just 12 (and 5 of those came in one game) with Nikita Kucherov (who else) leading the way. The winger...
For a red-hot moment, it looked like the Tampa Bay Lightning were going to duplicate their 6-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes from back in December. They went down 3-0 before rallying back to tie it. Then they gave up a fourth goal before tying it. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find the fifth goal before the Hurricanes did and Sebastian Aho’s power play goal in the third period proved to be in the difference in the 5-4 win for the Hurricanes. “We allowed them to get behind us,” is how Ro...
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning, 5-4, on Thursday night in their first game back following the Olympics. Despite giving up an early three goal lead, the Canes power play was the difference, with Sebastian Aho netting the game winner with 12 minutes left. Carolina has now won nine of its last 11 […]

Carolina had three players bring home medals: Jaccob Slavin won gold with the United States, Seth Jarvis won silver with Canada, and Sebastian Aho won bronze with Finland. All three will […]
There have been a lot of factors contributing to the success of the Tampa Bay Lightning this season. Andrei Vasilevskiy is putting up a Vezina-like performance. Nikita Kucherov is collecting multi-point games like Pokemon. One of the differences between this year and previous ones is the amount of unexpected players that have stepped up when injuries have forced them into a bigger role. Darren Raddysh elevating his game to new levels, Charle-Edouard D’Astous becoming a one-man breakout machine...

The Tampa Bay Lightning’s talented winger continued his assault on the record books as he became the first member of the organization to eclipse the 700 assist mark. Just for fun, he got started on the next milestone as he added his 701st later in the game. As with every helper he racks up, he sets a new franchise record in assists, and he continues to creep closer to Steven Stamkos’ record of 1,137 points overall (Kucherov sits at 1,088). With 701 apples he is currently tied all-time wit...

Nikita Kucherov also posted a three-point night which included his 700th car...
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 27-22-9. On the team’s performance: I thought we played a good, solid first period. We had three 2-on-1s in the first period and didn’t get a shot off. We have to execute those […] The post Craig Berube on the Leafs’ poor execution in the loss to Tampa: “We had three 2-on-1s in the first period and didn’t get a shot off” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
