Lightning top Jets 4-1 to win 11th game of January

It was another big night for Darren Raddysh as the Tampa Bay Lightning’s defenseman posted three points, including the game-winning goal in a 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets as the Bolts closed out January with their 11th win of the month. 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, but the Bolts built a 2-0 lead, then scored three minutes after the Jets had cut the lead to 2-1. From...

Former Steelers assistant leaves for AFC foe

The Pittsburgh Steelers are welcoming several new faces to their coaching staff, which you can follow along with in our assistant coach tracker. With new additions also come departures, and the Steelers have already seen several coaches go elsewhere. Special teams coordinator Danny Smith took the same role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and offensive […]

GM #53: Winnipeg Jets @ Tampa Bay Lightning

The Winnipeg Jets began their road trip with a win in New Jersey, but the competition will get more difficult in the second stop when they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning. The True North victory didn’t result in our club gaining any ground in the wildcard race, as the San Jose Sharks, Los Angeles Kings, & Seattle Kraken all won on Tuesday too. Therefore the Jets were in the 4th worst slot in the NHL team points percentage until the New York Rangers dropped another contest last night, leaving Win...

The Pittsburgh Pirates have been busy this offseason in both free agency and the trade market. The team signed designated hitter Ryan O’Hearn and traded for Tampa Bay Rays infielder Brandon Lowe, improving their offense. However, they have been slated for another big trade. Bleacher Report writer Kerry Miller suggested a trade that would send […]

Upgrades in the Outfield

The Rays front office has quietly done a nice job restructuring the outfield group – so quietly that the improvements may have even flown under the radar of many fans. The outfield production was less than ideal last season. Together, Rays outfielders produced an 85 wRC+ – which was the 5th lowest among all outfields […]

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 McDonagh to return to the line-up on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. The reassignment of Pelle...

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, Vasilevskiy’s leg was there to deflect the puck away. The score remained 1-0 in the Lightning’s favor, and they would ...

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 at the blue line) before the final whistle was blown. With the Lightning enjoying a day off,...
