The new member of the organization has been a revelation in Syracuse. Will it earn him some playing time in Tampa, and can he carry that skill to the NHL?

The Tampa Bay Lightning closed out the October slate of their schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars. Tonight’s star – Anthony Cirelli. After Brandon Hagel made a nice defensive play in his own zone to force a loose puck, Cirelli bumped the puck to open ice and outraced the Stars’ defenders for a semi-breakaway. He tucked the puck in on the near post to beat Jake Oettinger to earn the bonus point.

In an 82-game season, a team will have to find many different ways to win. Some will come on the back of dazzling offensive play, some by luck, some by a heroic goaltending effort, and some by a staunch defensive effort aided by goals from unlikely contributors. Tonight was such a game. The Lightning beat the Nashville Predators, 5-2, with Zemgus Girgensons scoring twice and Charle-Edouard D’Astous finding the back of the net for the first time in his NHL career.

It seems Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois will not let a non-game day go by without making a move this season. His latest transaction involves yet another forward as the Lightning placed Mitchell Chaffee on waivers on Monday. The 27-year-old will be assigned to the Syracuse Crunch should he clear. Like many of the Lightning forwards Chaffee, who has appeared in seven of the team’s nine games, has yet to register a point.
Chaffee was signed by the organization prior to ...
I’m going to change things up a little bit in this week’s subscriber-only post. Instead of talking about the Tampa Bay Lightning, I’m going to get a little more personal. For those around here that might not be aware, up until about three weeks ago, my time at Raw Charge, both as an independent blog […]
There is no need to get too crazy in breaking down this game. The Tampa Bay Lightning found a way to win a game that, a week ago, they would have lost. Nikita Kucherov finished off a feed from Brandon Hagel in overtime to give them a 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. For the first time this season they have back-to-back wins and a win away from leveling their record on the season.
With both teams having played tough games less than 24 hours prior, it could be forgiven if they loo...

For a moment in the second period, the Tampa Bay Lightning had shook off the shackles of their slow start and appeared to be on their way to a comfortable win against the Anaheim Ducks. Back-to-back milestone goals gave them a 3-1 lead and it seemed like they were headed to victory against a plucky Anaheim squad. The Ducks rocked the faith of the Lightning fans as they scored twice within a minute in the third period to tie things up. However, Anthony Cirelli, aka Tony Two Goals, lived up to h...

The road trip will not get easier for the San Jose Sharks, as the team heads to New Jersey for the second half of the back-to-backs. The Sharks will face the red hot New Jersey Devils tonight, a team that’s 6-1-0 for the season. New Jersey is at the top of the Metropolitan Division and hasn’t lost since the first game of the season, a 6-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Since then, the Devils have rolled through the Lightning, Blue Jackets, Panthers, Oilers, Maple Leafs and Wild, outscoring t...
It was a shock to everyone on hockey when Steven Stamkos was forced to move on from the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. With the Nashville Predators, he went on to have his least productive year since his rookie season in 2008-09. Now, 2025-26 is looking even worse, with just one goal and two points in eight games. With three years to go (including this one) on an $8 million cap hit, how long will the Nashville Predators—and Stamkos himself—continue to play the disappointing tune that has bee...

Oh hey there, friend.
It’s game day for the Red Wings — the start of a quick road trip starting in Buffalo tonight. The Sabres are 2-4-0 to start their season, so maybe not much has changed there. Too early to tell. Zach Benson looks good, though!
All right, so, the Wings are going to be without Patrick Kane tonight and tomorrow (oh yeah, it’s a back-to-back road trip by the way). Kane was injured (upper body) during Friday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. My guess is that the lineup...
