@rawcharge.comLightning take on the Islanders on a Saturday night. What could be better? #GoBolts
@stefenrosner.bsky.social
@rblrlightning.rblrsports.comIlya Mikheyev, Zemgus Girgensons, and Pontus Holmberg aren't supposed to be this good. Jon Cooper keeps throwing them at the other team's best players anyway. Tom Davis explores:
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialDuring homestand sweep, #GoBolts found the formula of GL+EL+PL=V to turn things around quickly from opening night, plus what Dominic James's assignment to Syracuse means and why Nikita Kucherov missed Friday's #TBLightning practice bit.ly/4y5ZDH7
@boltsben.bsky.socialUpdate: Dominic James will play his first game of the 2026-27 season tonight for the Syracuse Crunch, playing on a line with Dylan Duke and Brendan Furry.

@puckpedia-lineups.bsky.socialTampa Bay has assigned Dominic James to Syracuse (AHL). I assume this a conditioning loan as he is still on injured reserve. #GoBolts
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialUpdates from #GoBolts practice today: Dominic James assigned to Syracuse, but expected to a be brief assignment to get him in some games over the weekend, could rejoin team before Tuesday’s game at NYR. Kucherov absent for body maintenance, Sabourin had a doctor appointment
@boltsben.bsky.socialRegarding Dominic James’ AHL assignment, #GoBolts assistant coach Rob Zettler said it’s about getting him into game action.
“Dominic is certainly part of our plans. It wasn't a knock, it was just a chance for us to get him some hockey games and to get him back up to speed.”
@boltsben.bsky.socialKucherov’s absence today was just for body maintenance, Sabourin had an appointment. Both are available for tomorrow’s #GoBolts game against the Islanders.
@boltsben.bsky.social#GoBolts forward lines are unchanged other than players shifting into Kucherov's usual spot
Goncalves-Point
Hagel-Cirelli-Guentzel
Mikheyev-Girgensons-Holmberg
Viel-Gourde-Geekie
Moser-Carlson
McDonagh-Cernak
D'Astous-Crozier
Hedman-Lilleberg
@boltsben.bsky.socialBack to practice today before the #GoBolts head for New York. Emil Lilleberg has shed his non-contact jersey.
Kucherov and Sabourin are not on the ice.
@boltsben.bsky.socialThe power play is on the board!
John Carlson scored twice, including Tampa Bay's first power-play goal of the season, and Dennis Hildeby stopped 34 shots in his Lightning debut as the #GoBolts defeated Minnesota 3-2 on Thursday night.
