Here are three reasons to like the Lightning’s new-look power play. Thursday’s moves were transformative, because the personnel and positional changes made it difficult to tell which was the top unit and which was the second. Point men Victor Hedman and Darren Raddysh switched units, with Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel matched with Raddysh.

Anthony Cirelli? He bleeds. Those are all compliments, by the way. Shorthand for a signature style of play. Point, the world knows, is quick and elusive. Kucherov, we’ve all come to understand, is a visionary in skates.

After struggling to convert scoring changes, Tampa Bay has just 1 goal through the first 2 periods but makes it stick.

Brandon Hagel had two goals and an assist, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 28 saves for the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 3-0 win against the Los Angeles Kings at Amalie Arena on Thursday. The shutout was Vasilevskiy’s third of the season and 37th in the NHL.

Brandon Hagel scored twice in a three-point outing, Andrei Vasilevskiy notched his third shutout this season and the Tampa Bay Lightning blanked the visiting Los Angeles Kings 3-0 on Thursday night.

There’s no doubt the Lightning need better scoring depth from their forward group. Their top six have put up big numbers. In fact, Tampa Bay remains the only team in the NHL with four 20-goal scorers.

Different day, same result. Coming off of a 3-0 shutout loss to the Florida Panthers last night, it was deja vu all of over again tonight as the Kings fell 3-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. With the loss,

After a brutal schedule of games in the month of January, the Lightning are back home at Amalie Arena for the foreseeable future ahead of the 4 Nations break. They'll open their five-game homestand with a matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks who they faced just last week.

The Tampa Bay Lightning will play the Chicago Blackhawks twice in the next five days, starting on Friday night in Chicago. The Lightning are 0-2 so far on their road-trip and would love nothing more than to grab two points.

Cam Talbot made 28 saves and the host Detroit Red Wings handed the Tampa Bay Lightning their first shutout loss of the season, 2-0, on Saturday. Marco Kasper and Michael Rasmussen scored the goals as the Wings avenged a 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay a week earlier.

Both teams tightened up defensively in the second period, so scoring chances were more limited. The Red Wings did break the tie, however. Marco Kasper got open in front of the Lightning net and redirected a puck off the post and in at 9:55.

Tampa Bay does everything but score against Detroit and has nothing to show for it in another loss to a division opponent.
