The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning for a very weird sequence of back-to-back contests but they’re both going to be at home. And it is just perfect timing for the Flyers to lose a whole lot of their talent from the lineup after Bobby Brink, Travis Konecny, and Jamie Drysdale have suffered injuries this week.
With these injuries, the Flyers’ depth will be tested and of course they are facing a Lightning team that has won their last eight games and have the Eastern C...

Sure, it’s a couple of days late, but we’ll just blame the post-holiday brain fog for the timing. As the Tampa Bay Lightning cool their heels for a couple of days, it’s not a bad time to take a look at how things went in a busy December. After righting their season with a blazing-hot November, things were a bit more…chaotic in December.
The month started with four losses (not great). Then they found their offense for a couple of games (that’s good!). Next came a couple of losses, includin...

On a night the Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated head coach Jon Cooper’s 1,000th game as their head coach, his players honored him with a textbook win over the best team in the league as Brandon Hagel’s snapshot from the right circle in the third period snapped a 2-2 tie with the Colorado Avalanche. Anthony Cirelli added an empty net goal to make the final 4-2 as the Lightning continued their torrid start to the 2026 calendar year with their eighth win in a row.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have ascended to the top of the Eastern Conference on the back of a solid offense and a surprisingly competent defense considering it’s comprised of three players that, if the season had played out as expected, would have been freezing in Syracuse instead of enjoying the sun and fun of Florida. Charle-Edouard D’Astous (19:07), Declan Carlile (14:09), and Max Crozier (15:30) are logging big minutes due to the injuries suffered earlier in the season by some blueline stapl...

On January 5th in 2011, Tampa Bay Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos lost an edge during a penalty shot attempt against Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins and failed to put the puck on net down 5-0 early in the second period.
The miscue comes only six days after the 2010 Rocket Richard co-winner was awarded his first NHL penalty shot which he converted with a nifty spin-o-rama move against

So, we know what you’re wondering. When was the last time a Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman recorded a hat trick? Well, the answer is December 23, 2006 when Dan Boyle scored three times in the third period to help the Bolts take down the New York Rangers, 4-3. After almost two decades, a Lightning blueliner matched that feat as Darren Raddysh scored three times against the San Jose Sharks in Tampa Bay’s 7-3 win.
It was Raddysh’s first career NHL hat trick and, coincidently enough, it happe...

The San Jose Sharks learned what it takes to be a top team in the NHL by one of the top teams in the NHL. The Tampa Bay Lightning made short work of the Sharks, jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first seven minutes of the game and then coasting to an easy 7-3 win over the Sharks.
“Sluggish start against a little bit of, obviously, a pretty good team. You’re down early and you’re kind of chasing the game,” said Ryan Reaves after the game. “Yeah, it’s tough to battle back against teams...

The Tampa Bay Lightning pay the team’s one and only visit to the SAP Center during the regular season in yet another test for this young San Jose Sharks’ squad. The Lightning are among the better teams in the NHL with a 24-13-3 record. That’s good enough for second in the Atlantic Division and fifth in the league.

After getting booted in the first round of the playoffs last spring, Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois didn’t wait until free agency started to begin fiddling with his roster. While the second round was still going on, the Lightning announced a free agent signing that was met with a collective shrug by just about everyone.
We even passed it off as “not a game-changing pick-up, but it does add to the organization’s depth”. Credit to the Lightning’s scouting staff, and Ch...

The Nashville Predators aren't advertising a fire sale at the moment like they may have been earlier in the season, but they have moved out Spencer Stastney to the Edmonton Oilers ard have more players to trade, whether they're standing pat or selling. Steven Stamkos has been one of the names heavily in trade rumors since last season. His contract isn't ideal and he has trade protection, so a trade would have to go through him.
