After a much-needed holiday break, the Montreal Canadiens resumed their road trip on Sunday night in Florida against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bad bounces and broken sticks saw them down 3-0 going into the third period, and it felt like they were going to lose despite a pretty good overall showing through 40 minutes. Instead, they orchestrated a thrilling comeback, forcing overtime and taking one point before succumbing in the shootout.
As disappointing as the final result was, their resil...

It isn’t how most teams would like to go about their winning ways, but the Tampa Bay Lightning wrapped up 2025 with a shoot-out victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Nikita Kucherov scored twice as the Lightning won their fourth game in a row and moved into a tie with Detroit atop of the Atlantic Division.
The Lightning did have a few reinforcements in the line-up. Brandon Hagel returned to action while the newly recalled Max Groshev made his NHL debut. In net was Jonas Johansson, and he w...

First period
A nice start from Phillip Danualt’s line with Josh Anderson and Alexandre Texier sees the Canadiens play the first shift of the game in the offensive zone.
Ivan Demidov creates a zone entry and Juraj Slafkovský gets a shot from the slot. Looks like there isn’t a great deal of rust to shake off for Montreal.
That line turns some play in the defensive zone into another shot on Johan Johansson. They have looked great recently.
Anderson goes six feet offside unne...

If nothing else, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s run of injuries has given some of their prospects a chance to shine at the NHL level. Whether it’s Dominic James, Declan Carlile, Max Crozier, Jack Finley, or Charle-Edouard D’Astous, Lightning fans have seen way more of the organizational depth than they had planned. Tonight, they get to add another name to the list – Maxim Groshev.

It was always going to happen at some point this season. While the first two match-ups during the regular season had their tense moments and questionable hits, things hadn’t boiled over like they did in the pre-season. That wasn’t the case in Saturday’s penalty-filled 4-2 win for the Tampa Bay Lightning over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers.
Two goals, including an empty-netter, from Nikita Kucherov proved to be the difference, but it was the Lightning penalty killers that won ...

It’s been more than a year since Julien BriseBois handed out a long-term contract. Not since Jake Guentzel’s free-agent deal in the summer of 2024 has the Lightning general manager handed out a maximum-length deal, and with his time frame for extending his own players for eight years narrowing due to the new CBA, we knew he had to sign at least one more big deal. So he had to be getting a little antsy. Enter J.J. Moser. On Saturday, the team announced that the 25-year-old defenseman had agreed...

After a slightly chaotic win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, the Tampa Bay Lightning made it two wins in a row with a business-like, 4-1, victory over the St. Louis Blues. Darren Raddysh led the way with a goal and two assists while Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 23-of-24 shots in the win. Their power play, which was 2-for-30 on home ice heading into the game, cashed in twice.
The St. Louis Blues aren’t having the best of seasons, and a lack of scoring has been a big reason behind t...

There are a lot of things you can say about this season’s Tampa Bay Lightning. Some of those things might even be of the negative variety. One thing that you can’t say is that this team doesn’t put out the effort. There have been some games over the past few seasons where the work ethic of the Lightning could be questioned. This season, there does seem to be a bit more of a desperation in their game overall. On Saturday night, despite being down three goals, they didn’t stop playing and clawed...
