Lightning swap young defensemen in trade with Flyers

The Tampa Bay Lightning made their first trade of the year, and while it might be considered a minor one, they bring some potential offense on the blue line into the system. Prior to their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced that they had acquired defender Ethan Samson from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for Roman Schmidt. The trade brings Schmidt’s tenure with the organization to a close. A rugged defender with size, the 22-year-old showed some potential over th...

Lightning shutout for second game in a row, fall to Maple Leafs, 2-0

The Tampa Bay Lightning did many, many things well in their 2-0 loss to the Toronto Maples Leafs. They did the things that usually lead to wins. The only thing they didn’t do was score a goal. For the second straight game, Jonas Johansson did his job as he allowed just one goal, and for the second straight game he wasn’t rewarded for his efforts. Despite a valiant charge in the third period, the Lightning couldn’t equalize, and a late empty-net goal sealed their fate. It was a solid start...

Tampa Bay Lightning extend Ryan McDonagh

Perhaps the Tampa Bay Lightning learned a lesson from their previous negotiations with an aging franchise icon.

Instead of waiting until after the season was over, they inked their veteran defenseman to a three-year contract extension with an average annual value of $4.1 million. The deal will theoretically keep in the blue and white for the rest of his care...
