    2023-24 Preview

    The Tampa Bay Lightning had a successful season in 2022-2023. They finished with a regular-season record of 46-30-6, earning a total of 98 points. This placed them third in the Atlantic Division.

    In the playoffs, the Lightning faced the Toronto Maple Leafs in the First Round but unfortunately lost to them. Despite the early exit, the Lightning put up a strong fight throughout the season and playoffs.

    The team underwent some changes during the offseason, with key players departing and new additions joining the roster.

    Looking ahead to the 2023-2024 season, the Lightning have high expectations. With star players like Vasilevskiy and Hedman leading the way, the team hopes to make a deep playoff run and compete for the Stanley Cup.

    The team’s strong foundation and talented roster provide an optimistic outlook for the upcoming season.

    How good will Vasilevskiy’s season be?

    Andre Vasilevskiy is undoubtedly one of the top goaltenders in the NHL, and his performance in the upcoming 2023-2024 season is highly anticipated. As the cornerstone of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Vasilevskiy has consistently shown his skill, athleticism, and ability to make exceptional saves.

    With his strong fundamentals, quick reflexes, and calm demeanor, Vasilevskiy is expected to continue his stellar play between the pipes. He possesses excellent positioning, allowing him to make difficult saves look routine. His ability to read the game and anticipate plays gives him an edge against opponents, making it challenging for them to find the back of the net.

    Vasilevskiy’s impressive track record suggests that he will have another standout season. He has consistently been a finalist for the Vezina Trophy.

    The Lightning’s solid defensive structure and talented roster further support Vasilevskiy’s success. The team’s commitment to defense and their ability to limit high-quality scoring chances will provide him with a strong foundation to excel.

    He has proven himself to be a reliable and game-changing player, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him among the league leaders in save percentage, goals against average, and shutouts.

    Fans can definitely look forward to another exceptional season from Andre Vasilevskiy as he aims to help lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a successful campaign and contend for the Stanley Cup once again.

    Who will step up for the offense this season?

    The Tampa Bay Lightning offense is expected to be formidable in the upcoming 2023-2024 season. Despite losing key players like Alex Killorn, Pat Maroon, and Ross Colton, the Lightning have made some notable additions to their roster.

    Conor Sheary, Luke Glendening, Josh Archibald, and Logan Brown are among the new players joining the team. These additions bring depth and versatility to the forward lines, adding scoring options and playmaking abilities. They will complement the Lightning’s established offensive stars, such as Steven Stamkos, Brayden Point, and Nikita Kucherov.

    Stamkos, the team’s captain, has been a consistent offensive force throughout his career. Stamkos is a threat to score from anywhere on the ice. Point, a dynamic forward, has shown his ability to produce in clutch moments and is a reliable contributor on both ends of the ice.

    Kucherov, a former Art Ross Trophy winner, is known for his elite offensive skills and creativity. His vision and ability to find open teammates make him a dangerous playmaker. With his return from injury, the Lightning’s offense will receive a significant boost.

    The Lightning’s offensive success is not solely reliant on individual performances. Head coach Jon Cooper emphasizes a structured system that encourages puck possession, speed, and effective puck movement. This system allows the Lightning to generate scoring opportunities and exploit their opponents’ defensive weaknesses.

    With a combination of skilled veterans, talented newcomers, and a proven offensive system, the Tampa Bay Lightning offense is poised to be a potent force in the upcoming season. Fans can expect an exciting and high-scoring brand of hockey as the team strives to compete for another championship.

    2022-23 Preview

    After failing to three peat as Stanley Cup Champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning will come into the 2022-23 season with a chip on their shoulder as they will look to make it back to the Stanley Cup Final and win their third Cup in four years to solidify themselves as a dynasty. However, they’re going to do so with some changes to their lineup as forward Ondrej Palat (signed in New Jersey) and defensemen Ryan McDonagh (traded to Nashville) and Jan Rutta (signed with Pittsburgh) have all departed while Anthony Cirelli, Mikhail Sergachev, and Erik Cernak all signed eight year deals to keep the core together.

    Defenseman Ian Cole was signed to bring some grit and veteran experience to the blue line after losing both McDonagh and Rutta, plus Philippe Myers (acquired in McDonagh trade) and Haydn Fleury add some depth to the Bolts blue line. Forward Vladislav Namestnikov returns for his second stint with the Lightning.

    The Lightning are still built very strong and for another long run into the playoffs, but one needs to ask, how much is left in the tank for the veterans who’ve been going deep these last three years, or will they have enough to make it deep once again? One way or another the Lightning are playoff contenders and Cup favorites.
