Lightning needed adjustments and next man up, again for Game 2 - LightningInsider.com The Lightning know the adjustments they need to make heading into Game 2, plus it's next man up again heading to Tuesday.

Heading into Game 2 against Montreal and trailing 1-0 in the series, #GoBolts have already targeted the key adjustment they need to make, plus it's next man up again for #TBLightning who are going to need a slump buster to buck a couple of bad trends bit.ly/4mDRpBX

Lightning needed to play smarter in series opener - LightningInsider.com The Lightning needed to play smarter in their series opener against Montreal and it wasn't just about disicipline.

The #TBLightning get burned by undisciplined, untimely penalties bred of "stupidity" to open their first round series against Montreal. #GoBolts know they'll have to play smarter moving forward and that goes beyond just the penalties bit.ly/4cUe1eg

#GoBolts  #TBLightning

Asked Jon Cooper if there was any status update on #GoBolts captain Victor Hedman and this was his answer “No, but there will be, we'll address that in the next couple days here.”

Let the fun commence; Lightning first round schedule announced - LightningInsider.com Let the fun commence as the league announces the first-round schedule for the Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens.

League announces #GoBolts first-round schedule and there are a couple of wrinkles in the best-of-seven series to note #TBLightning bit.ly/4sDHca0

As Lightning regular season ends, what happens next should never be taken for granted - LightningInsider.com The Lightning's season came to end on Wednesday and they again qualified for the playoffs, which should never be taken for granted.

Regular season came to an end for #GoBolts with a meaningless game, but the season had plenty of meaning for #TBLightning and what they again accomplished should never be taken for granted: "To be able to be that team that wins, you have to get in.''

It’s Brandon Halverson leading the #TBLightning on to the ice for pregame warmup, not Andrei Vasilevskiy as expected, as #GoBolts  host NY Rangers for Game 82

Both Jakob Pelletier and Mitchell Chaffee now listed on #GoBolts roster, so those look like the two anticipated call ups for #TBLightning ahead of tonight's regular season finale. Max Crozier activated off injured reserve, Steven Santini on waivers for the purpose of reassigning him to Syracuse

It's playoffs time! 💙⚡ #photography #tblightning

Expecting a few guys to sit out tonight for #GoBolts  in the regular season finale. Might be a couple of call ups from Syracuse coming to dress and play. Maybe a couple of the guys who were recently called up like Pelletier or Chaffee. #TBLightning

Brandon Hagel will play tonight, looks like Max Crozier will also return for his first game since the Olympic break #GoBolts  #TBLightning

Even with a game remaining, Lightning playoff preparation well underway - LightningInsider.com Even with one more game left and home ice to start the postseason wrapped up, Lightning playoff preparation already underway.

While #GoBolts still have one game remaining and already have home ice wrapped up to start, make no mistake that playoff preparation is already underway. And #TBLightning will have a quick turnaround which means expect players to sit out on Wednesday

Final in Philadelphia, Flyers defeat Montreal 4-2, which means #GoBolts will finish 2nd in the Atlantic regardless of tomorrow's result against the Rangers. It also means that #TBLightning will host Games 1 and 2 of the series. Expecting a Sunday start, but could be Saturday

Last regular season practice (first playoff preparation with opponent known?). No Brandon Hagel, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Jonas Johansson but Darren Raddysh is taking part after sitting out the past two games #GoBolts  #TBLightning

Great matchup v #habs - looking forward to the #gohabsgo teaching #TBlightning how to win a playoff series WITHOUT unfairly jobbing the league via a loophole allowing an $18 million cap overage from the Kucherov LTIR!

Playoff opponent locked in, but Lightning defensive play still needs to be locked down - LightningInsider.com The Lightning have locked in who they will play to open the postseason, but their defensive play needs to locked in better.

Even with a win on Monday, #GoBolts concede chance at division title which means their first-round playoff opponent is locked in but #TBLightning not exactly locked in defensively as regular season winds down, and it's not just about the defensive zone bit.ly/41sUACX
