  • Lightning's Cole Koepke: May have inside track to NHL job

    Koepke may have the inside track to fill the open spot on the Lightning's forward corps, reports The Athletic.

    Koepke, who got off to a rough start in the AHL last season, became one of Syracuse's best players by season's end. He was rewarded with a role as a Black Ace through the NHL postseason. Koepke likely wouldn't get much power-play time, but if he earns the gig he could see regular minutes while Anthony Cirelli (shoulder) is sidelined.
