The Lightning sputters again behind Andrej Vasilevskiy

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Here’s how bad the hockey season is going for the Tampa Bay Lightning. It can’t even count on Buffalo anymore. The sputtering Tampa Bay Lightning lost for the first time this season to the Sabres Tuesday night, dropping a 4-1 decision to a team it had previously beaten three times (in its seven victories). It was the eighth time this season the Bolts have been held to one goal or fewer. The Lightning (7-8-2) bears little resemblance to the team that…

Triplet member Ondrej Palat to miss time from Lightning with injury

in Sports/Top Headlines by

For the Tampa Bay Lightning, goals just became a little harder to come by. Forward Ondrej Palat is going to be out for three-five weeks. The Lightning are calling Palat’s problem “a lower body injury,” but he was wearing a brace on his left ankle. He left the Lightning’s 1-0 loss to Minnesota in the second period after Nino Niederreiter fell on his leg. Palat, the least flashy member of the Triplets, has two goals and seven points in 16…

Lightning shut out again by Minnesota as team struggles continue

in Sports/Top Headlines by

At this point, it is hard to argue that the Tampa Bay Lightning is anything other than a mediocre hockey team. Seven wins, seven losses. Thirty eight goals scored, thirty goals given up. One game the Lightning appears to be breaking out of its slump. The next they look as if they are right back in it. The Lightning lost another 1-0 hockey game Saturday night, this time to Minnesota. It was the seventh time the Lightning has failed to…

Together, they are the three men you expect to score. The three men you expect to lead. The three men who are supposed to make the Tampa Bay Lightning special. Steven Stamkos. Tyler Johnson. Nikita Kucherov. The skills of all three were evident as they all scored in the first period in a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Tampa Bay has struggled during the early part of the NHL season, but you couldn’t convince the Sabres of it. It…

Lightning’s offense continues its recent slump against Detroit, 2-1

in Sports/Top Headlines by

As it turns out, perhaps it was the high-scoring game that was the aberration for the Tampa Bay Lightning, not the slump that has defined much of the early part of this season. The Lightning’ offense went missing again Tuesday night in a 2-1 loss to Detroit, the fourth time in th last five games the Bolts have scored one or fewer goals. The team had hoped it had broken out of that slump in a 4-3 victory over Carolina…

Tampa Bay Lightning resemble their old selves in victory over Carolina

Now, that’s the Tampa Bay Lightning you remember. Fast. Skilled. Gathered in front of the net to celebrate another goal. You know. Those guys. After a scoring drought in which the team scored only two goals in a four-game losing streak, the Bolts broke out against Carolina. It finished 4-3, but only because the Hurricanes scored two goals in the final minutes. Goaltender Andrej Vasilevskiy made his first start of the season for the Lighting and stopped 32 shots in…

Jon Cooper said it. Steven Stamkos said it. Everyone said it. For the Tampa Bay Lightning, this year was going to be tougher. But this tough? Already? Any tougher, and there would be barbed wire on the ice. The Lightning (5-5-2) dropped its fourth straight game – in which it has scored only two goals – on Saturday night to the Boston Bruins, 3-1. The Bolts have only two victories in their last year games, and now go on a…
