| What are the odds the Lightning bring the Stanley Cup back home? Experts weigh in. |
| General manager Don Waddell likes how his Carolina Hurricanes finished the season, winning 16 of their final 21 games. “Your points get erased and you all start with zeroes,” Waddell said. Unlike last year, when Boston broke league records for the most wins and points in a season, there is no clear favorite to hoist the Stanley Cup. Carolina, Florida, defending champion Vegas, Dallas, Winnipeg, Edmonton and the league-best New York Rangers are among the many contenders who could be the last team standing in June. |

| Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Florida Panthers Playoff Preview: The nothing but vibes edition |
| It hasn't been the smoothest season, but the Lightning still managed to get to 98 points and their .598 points percentage is tied with last year's team for 10th best in franchise history. The vibes were kind of shaky from the beginning with the signing and then terminating of Josh Archibald's contract. Then there was the succession of players like Conor Sheary missing time with minor injuries. Throw in Mikhail Sergachev fracturing two bones in one leg and there was a stretched where it seemed like every other player in the line-up was making his NHL and/or Lightning debut. |

| Lightning Goalie Buys House In South Tampa |
| Lightning Goalie Buys House In South Tampa Author Tampa Bay's Morning Krewe April 19th 7:05 AM Our Tampa Bay Lightning goalie has bought a new house in south Tampa. Andrei Vasilevskiy, also known as the Big Cat p urchased this home in South Tampa for $8.5 million. The house has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. It is 5,196 square feet and is located Near Ballast Point in South Tampa. In March Vasy put up his house for sale that he purchased in November of last year for $3.5 million. That house is also located in South Tampa and has four bedrooms and five bathrooms. That house was 3,555 square feet so obvious he needed a little bit more room for his new house. I'm just glad the Big Cat is staying |

| 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs: Odds for every team and sleeper picks to go the distance |
| If you're like me, helicoptering in for the end of the NHL season after not paying much attention all year, you may be wondering how much has changed from the start of the season when the Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes were co-favorites at +900 to win the Stanley Cup. The outlook for Colorado remains positive too, though the Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers have moved into a tied with the Avalanche for fourth-best odds at +800. Last year's runner-up, the Florida Panthers, hold the second-best odds at +700 and the Dallas Stars are third at +750. |

| Concerts at Amalie Arena That Could Conflict with Lightning Playoffs |
| Concerts at Amalie Arena That Could Conflict with Lightning Playoffs Author Geno April 18th 11:43 AM Garth Brooks was forced to cancel THREE concerts at Amalie Arena almost 10 years ago when the Lightning advanced to the NHL Stanley Cup Final.

While that's awesome for hockey fans, in the past, Lightning playoff games have forced the postponement and cancellations for concerts at Amalie Arena in May and June. Concert Tour Logistics Here's the thing that many don't think about when this comes up. Concert tours are planned at least a year in advance. Sometimes it's even 2 to 3 years in advance.

| The 2 Unknown Lightning Who Kept Matthews From Getting 70 - The Hockey Writers Tampa Bay Lightning Latest News, Analysis & More |
| Auston Matthews was held in check for the second straight night Wednesday in a 6-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, finishing the schedule with an amazing 69 goals in 81 games. The Toronto Maple Leafs sniper was looking to become the first NHL player to score 70 goals in more than three decades. Ryan Reaves, TJ Brodie, Pontus Holmberg, and John Tavares had the goals for the Leafs, who pulled their goalie late in the game, even down three goals as they desperately attempted to get Matthews one last chance to reach the 70-goal plateau. The first thoughts of which members of the Lightning may have played a major role in denying Matthews would include former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy or All-Star defenseman Victor Hedman. |

| 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs rooting guide for fans of eliminated teams |
| The Stanley Cup dream for 16 teams has been dashed, but for the fans of those teams there is still plenty to root for in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Remember when Ray Bourque won the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2001? The Boston Bruins missed the playoffs that season, but the eyes of New England were on the longtime Bruins defenseman rooting that he would win the Cup for the first time. There are examples every year with every team of players who are still thought of fondly by a fan base even though they now play for a different team. With that in mind, here is who fans of each non-playoff team could be rooting for once the postseason starts Saturday. ANAHEIM DUCKS Who's playing where?: |

| You never know what you're going to get in the final game of the regular season. For the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs, Wednesday night's game at AMALIE Arena had no bearing on the standings.

In doing so, he would join an exclusive club featuring Connor McDavid, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieuxand Bobby Orr. |
