The Lightning have a good numbers problem: the blue line has more NHL talent than it does lineup spots on any given night. The #GoBolts will utilize eight NHL defensemen this season, it's just a matter of how and when. Story: nhl.com/lightning/news/confi…

!!!!! Gabby and I talk summer fun, front teeth, #GoBolts training camp and more. Releasing today for @BoltsRadio on all platforms

Resharing this story on Jansen Harkins, who had a great preseason and earned a job with the #GoBolts  to open the season. How’d he make an impression? ⬇️ “It’s just playing with good pace and being relentless.” nhl.com/lightning/news/janse…

The Tampa Bay Lightning have loaned Benjamin Rautiainen to Tappara in Finland’s Liiga. Strong camp for the youngster, team is excited to see how he grows further this year. And with that, here is your 2026 #GoBolts opening night roster.

All of the #GoBolts players on waivers yesterday, including defending AHL scoring champion Jakob Pelletier, have cleared and will be assigned to Syracuse.

#GoBolts captain Victor Hedman: "We're progressing and gelling as a group, and everyone knows what to expect and what's expected of them, and they know their roles. We've had some time to work on the chemistry on the lines, so everyone's excited."

Cernak said Conor Geekie took some heat for his golf game. With a smile, Cernak's response when @Gabby_Shirley_ asked 81 how he played? "Not good" 😂

Cernak on #GoBolts team golf: "It's always nice before the season when we can get together, play some golf and spend some time together. I think that's important to get the team going. We're already super close but we've got some new guys, so make them a little more comfortable in the group, and I think that was great."

We’ve learned the #GoBolts spent yesterday golfing together here in Naples. Sounds like youngster Benjamin Rautiainen has some serious game, is a 5-handicap according to Jeff Viel. Hedman said Guentzel shot quite a round too.
