Latest news and updates about the Lightning
There are plenty of lessons the Edmonton Oilers can take from Thursday’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning, because their path from frustration to dominance is a blueprint that should hit close to home.

After a poor start, the Tampa Bay Lightning have returned to their usual selves. Taking care of a wounded New Jersey Devils team on Tuesday, the Bolts have won nine of their last twelve hockey games. That places them flirting with a playoff spot again, a 10-7-2 record, and back to where one would expect. …

Well, if nothing else, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s recent run of injuries is giving fans a chance to see some new players at the NHL level. Prior to their game against the Florida Panthers, the team announced yet another recall as forward Jakob Pelletier was brought up from the Syracuse Crunch. If Pelletier is in the line-up tonight, he will become the sixth player to make his Lightning debut this season, and they haven’t cracked the 20-game mark yet. The 24-year-old Pelletier was signed to...

Could we go into a long detailed discussion about how the Tampa Bay Lightning lost this game to the New York Rangers, 7-3 ? Sure, but that would make us sad, and y’all angry (again). So let’s let one of our commenters sum up the game: Yup, that pretty much wraps things up in regards to how we feel about this game. The Lightning did not play well. Yes, they had some bad bounces, but the mistakes leading up to those bounces were, for the most part, unforced. They had worked hard over t...

The reinforcements have arrived. With the Tampa Bay Lightning ailing a bit, the team recalled a couple of veterans from the Syracuse Crunch. Forwards Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin caught the plane ride down from the bitter cold to the chilly, but much nicer Tampa weather to help bolster a squad that is a little down right now. With Dominic James definitely missing tonight’s action, and Pontus Holmberg probably out as well, the Bolts needed to add some depth to their bottom-six. Ryan M...

The Tampa Bay Lightning picked up a win in their last outing, downing the Washington Capitals, 3-2, but it has proven to be a costly one as at least two of their key players suffered injuries that have reportedly landed them on injured reserve. Ryan McDonagh, who blocked a shot at the end of the first period, and Dominic James, who took a puck to the upper cheek area, will be out of action for at least one game. After practice Coach Jon Cooper let reporters know that McDonagh would be “ou...

In the Tampa Bay Lightning’s most recent draft class, there seemed to be a slightly more focused effort on bringing a bit more truculence into the organization. Ethan Czata, their second round pick, is a skilled forward that has a bit of an edge to his game. The same goes for one of their seventh-round picks from the 2025 draft, Grant Spada. Unfortunately, players that rely on physicality often cross the line, and that happened to the 6’5″ defenseman as he earned a three-game suspension from t...

Some day in the not-too-distant-future, the NHL is going to expand the number of teams in the league. When that day comes, and realignment is finalized, hopefully the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Washington Capitals end up in the same division.
