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...

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...

Announced by the team, the Flyers have traded 22-year-old defenseman Ethan Samson to the Lightning for also 22-year-old defenseman Roman Schmidt. Both defensemen are right handed but bring a whole lot of different energy to the ice.
TRADE ALERT: We have acquired defenseman Roman Schmidt from Tampa Bay in ex...

The Tampa Bay Lightning will have to carry on without their starting goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. The team announced on Monday, Vasilevskiy has been placed on the injured reserve, , and at this time, his injury is a complete mystery. The Russian netminder last played on Dec.2 against the New York Islanders when he allowed two goals. He's since been ruled day-to-day and then missed games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Islanders on Saturday, and will miss his third in a row against ...

It wasn’t pretty (other than Ilya Sorokin’s saves and Calum Ritchie’s cheeky finish), but the Isles pulled it off again to collect two regulation points and stun the Lightning in Tampa. Their march against recent Cup winners and their back-to-back weekend continues early this evening with a visit to the Panthers. Florida is also playing […]

For the second time in a week, Ilya Sorokin had the Tampa Bay Lightning’s number. After he stopped 27-of-28 shots in the Lightning’s 2-1 loss on December 3, he was even better on Saturday night, denying all 32 shots they threw at him in a 2-0 win. Calum Ritchie broke the scoreless tie in the third period and Casey Cizikas sealed the win with an empty-net goal. Jonas Johansson, making his second start in a row, stopped 17-of-18 shots.
Johansson started in place of Andrei Vasilevskiy, who m...

This one was a bit of a snoozer to start — not much action, save for Ilya Sorokin standing tall and the Islanders hitting the post a few times. We went into the third period tied at zero, a rarity for this sometimes defensively-challenged team, but a four minute power play helped the Isles break […]

Perhaps the Tampa Bay Lightning learned a lesson from their previous negotiations with an aging franchise icon. After not being able to come to an agreement with Steven Stamkos two summers ago, they took a different approach with Ryan McDonagh. 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...
