Winnipeg Jets Sign Vladislav Namestnikov to 2-Year Extension https://buff.ly/4k7KmzV #NHL #THW

As I mentioned on ESPN BET LIVE on Friday, Alex Ovechkin can break Wayne Gretzky's NHL record: * At current season goal pace: 24 games (April 12 vs CBJ) * At career pace: 27 games (April 17 vs PIT) * At last 5 seasons pace: 29 games (2nd game in 2025-26) (s/t ESPN Stats & Info)

#GoBolts  have recalled F Jesse Ylonen from Syracuse. Ylonen, son of former #TBLightning F Juha Ylonen, has 111 games in the NHL all with Montreal. Has 8 goals and 25 points through 47 games with the Crunch this season Have to wonder the status of any of the 4 who played 4 Nations

Another new face joins the Tampa Bay Lightning. #GoBolts

2024-2025 Points Leaders: 87 - Nathan MacKinnon 83 - Leon Draisaitl 82 - Nikita Kucherov 71 - Mitch Marner 71 - Connor McDavid https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2025_skaters.html#stats::8

Fortier's trip to Tampa is over as the Lightning re-assign him to Syracuse. #GoBolts

Asked Jeff Blashill today about the status of G Jonas Johansson, who has been out since January 28, and while there was no official update, he does not anticipate Johansson taking part in the next #GoBolts  scheduled practice on Saturday

Sounds like J.J. is on the verge of returning (cue up the Outer Banks gifs) #GoBolts #TBLightning

Civil War was a let down. Avengers movie shoehorned into a Cap movie. The new one isn’t my favorite, but it’s better than that score.

#GoBolts have enjoyed watching Brandon Hagel help put hockey in a spotlight it hasn't enjoyed for nearly a decade as Four Nations Faceoff has exceeded expectations heading into Thursday's Canada-USA rematch and whet the appetite for more best-on-best play bit.ly/417Fwd7

#TheLastOfUs S2 premieres April 13 on Max 🧟‍♂️

The Bruins update on Charlie McAvoy:

Nikita Kucherov, who missed the last #GoBolts  game prior to the break, is on the ice as #TBLightning resume practice today

“Reacher’s brand of stoic heroism is still sufficiently entertaining. ” Alan Ritchson returns as Lee Child’s crimefighting giant in Season 3 of #Reacher — streaming on Amazon Prime from tomorrow. Read the Empire Review: www.empireonline.com/tv/reviews/r...

That tracks.

Roster move: #GoBolts recall forwards Gage Goncalves and Gabriel Fortier from AHL Syracuse.

In 2018, Alex Ovechkin took a half-naked swim in a Washington D.C. fountain with his @Capitals teammates to celebrate their Stanley Cup championship. There will now be a plaque on that fountain commemorating the moment. Details here in my story: www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/...

Looks like the Lightning will be back at practice on Wednesday as they gear up to resume the regular season on Sunday

Can you imagine the NHL ever having another contact-free, passionless all-star game after today's 4 Nations Face-Off games? I myself cannot. My column, for @thehockeynews.bsky.social: thehockeynews.com/news/opinion...

#DaredevilBornAgain will officially have a 2-episode premiere on March 4 📺

Goonies is a classic, but it feels way too late for this. Especially considering IT and Stranger Things have been in the same ball park with horror elements

New in PN: Trump and his lawyers embrace the logic of dictatorship "The arguments being made by the administration boil down to this: if Trump wants to do it, he gets to. Their stance appears to literally be that laws are irrelevant in the face of Trump’s wishes and the courts can’t stop him."

Goncalves, Halverson, and Duke are officially assigned to Syracuse by the Lightning. Not much of a surprise with the Bolts being off for a bit. Crunch are back in action Wednesday morning.

Drake rn:

Eight straight seasons with at least 25 wins for the Big Cat 🦁

#GoBolts coach Jon Cooper said in his postgame scrum that Nikita Kucherov missed today's game after he "tweaked" something yesterday, adds the 4 Nations break comes at a good time for him.

Maybe it’s just things evening out at this point after we had that stretch of playing well and getting zilch from it

#GoBolts announce that Nikita Kucherov is out with an undisclosed upper-body injury and is listed as day to day (which of course means he won't play until Feb. 23 when the season resumes after the break) #TBLightning

I’ve seen worse committed on us and it’s never a penalty shot

Sounds like there's a good chance we'll see Andrei Vasilevskiy in net today for #GoBolts in the final game before the Four Nations Faceoff, but not confirmed. We'll know in about 10 minutes when warmup begins

Let's take a look at how many players each #4Nations country has had in the NHL since 1917-18. 📊 #4Nations Face-Off begins Wednesday with Canada vs. Sweden at 8p ET on @NHL_On_TNT, @SportsonMax, @Sportsnet and @TVASports!

It appears that #GoBolts D JJ Moser has been activated off of injured reserve ahead of this afternoon's game in Montreal as #TBLightning will face the Canadiens in the final game before the for the Four Nations Faceoff

Win No. 30 on the season for the @TBLightning! ⚡️

DYLAN DUKE! FIRST NHL GOAL! 🚨 He scores in his first NHL game in the state where he played college hockey with his family in attendance! 🇺🇸: ABC & @ESPNPlus ➡️ http://plus.espn.com 🇨🇦: @Sportsnet or stream on Sportsnet+ ➡️ http://watch.sportsnet.ca

Forward Dylan Duke became the 10th player in Tampa Bay Lightning history to score in their NHL debut and the first since Ross Colton did so on Feb. 4, 2021. Duke joins current #GoBolts Anthony Cirelli and Nikita Kucherov as players to have accomplished the feat.
