Top Lightning News

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting in Boston

    Vasilevskiy will guard the road crease in Saturday's matchup with the Bruins, per Conor Ryan of Boston.com.

    Vasilevskiy has dropped his last two starts, allowing a combined seven goals on 58 shots. It won't get any easier for the 28-year-old netminder Saturday when he takes on the Bruins, who are 29-3-3 at home this year while averaging 3.8 goals per game. Vasilevskiy is 31-19-4 with a .913 save percentage this season.

  • Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Two helpers not enough

    Kucherov had two assists Thursday in a 7-2 loss to Ottawa.

    Kooch continues to pad his scoring totals -- he now has 102 points, including the NHL's second-best tally for helpers (74). With coach Jon Cooper calling out the team for its play after the game, Kucherov needs to be a big part of the leadership to shift that narrative.

  • Lightning's Brayden Point: Gets 45th goal of season

    Point scored a goal in a 7-2 loss to the Senators on Thursday.

    He sniped his 45th goal at 10:28 of the second period with a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from Nikita Kucherov. After 19 points in 11 games, Point has seen his offense dry up and he has just four points (two goals, two assists) in his last seven games. He will rebound -- all great snipers do -- but he can't do it alone.

  • Lightning's Brian Elliott: Hung out to dry by mates

    Elliott made 28 saves Thursday in a 7-2 loss to Ottawa.

    The Sens were hot and the Bolts were not. And that was a recipe that delivered the visitors from Tampa Bay a stinging loss. Elliott wasn't to blame -- he got little to no support and the coach called out the team after the game. "It's all self-inflicted," said Lightning coach Jon Cooper. "Not sure when they are going to learn. There's a little bit of us feeling sorry for ourselves." Elliott remains a reasonable fantasy play if the Bolts can tighten things up.

  • Lightning's Brian Elliott: Set to face Senators

    Elliott is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Thursday, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

    Elliott has won his last two contests, saving 40 of 44 shots in that span. He has an 11-5-2 record, 3.15 GAA and .895 save percentage in 18 appearances this season. Ottawa has been struggling, losing five of its last six to drop to 34-32-5.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Stumbles in Montreal

    Vasilevskiy turned aside 17 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.

    The All-Star goalie gave up two tallies in the first period, looking a bit shaky on the first one, and the Lightning were never able to climb out of the early hole. Vasilevskiy continues to struggle in March, going 3-4-2 in nine starts with a 3.42 GAA and .883 save percentage, and while he's capable of flipping the switch once the playoffs start, it's an ominous sign for Tampa Bay's chances of making a deep run.

  • Lightning's Patrick Maroon: Scores goal in loss

    Maroon scored a goal on one shot against the Canadiens on Tuesday.

    Maroon finally found the back of the net for the first time since Jan. 3 against Chicago, a stretch of 33 games without a goal. During his slump, the veteran managed just five assists and 22 shots. As such, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on Maroon suddenly finding his offensive stride this year.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting in Montreal

    Vasilevskiy will guard the road goal Tuesday against Montreal, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

    Vasilevskiy gave up four goals on 38 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to New Jersey. He has a 31-18-4 record this season with a 2.70 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Vasilevskiy has won his previous two starts against the Canadiens this season, having stopped 47 of 49 shots. Montreal sits 27th in the league this campaign with 2.77 goals per game.

  • Lightning's Max Crozier: Inks two-year deal

    Crozier agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

    Crozier spent four years playing for Providence College for which he racked up 17 goals and 54 assists in 119 collegiate contests. The blueliner is expected to link up with AHL Syracuse on an amateur tryout for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign before his two-year pact kicks in next season.

  • Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Grabs 100th point Sunday

    Kucherov tallied a goal on four shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

    Kucherov opened the scoring Sunday, one-timing a Steven Stamkos feed past Vitek Vanecek just after Tampa's power play had expired. The goal marks the 100th point of the season for Kucherov, the third time in his nine-year NHL career that he's reached triple digits. The 29-year-old winger is up to 28 goals and 72 assists through 71 games. He trails only Edmonton's Connor McDavid (76) in helpers this season.

  • Lightning's Alex Killorn: Scores in loss

    Killorn scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

    Killorn gave the Lightning a 2-0 lead in the second period, sending a wrist shot past a screened Vitek Vanecek. The 33-year-old Killorn has been hot of late, tallying seven goals and 11 points in 11 games since the start of March. He's up to 54 points (22 goals, 32 assists) in 71 contests this year, five shy of his career high from last season.

  • Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Falls to Devils

    Vasilevskiy stopped 34 of 38 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

    Vasilevskiy held the Devils off the board as the Lightning jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second period. However, Vasilevskiy would allow four unanswered goals in the final two frames before New Jersey added an empty-netter, handing the 28-year-old netminder a 5-2 loss. Vasilevskiy falls to 31-18-4 with a .914 save percentage on the season. He'll look to get back in the winning column Tuesday when the Lightning visit the Canadiens.

  • Lightning's Corey Perry: Not playing Sunday

    Perry is not in Sunday's lineup against New Jersey, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Perry had suited up in each of the Lightning's first 70 games this season but appears to be a healthy scratch Sunday. The veteran winger has posted a minus-12 rating with 18 PIM and zero points in his last 14 games. Patrick Maroon will be back in the lineup in a fourth-line role.
