Lightning recall forward Ondrej Palat from Syracuse

Found March 03, 2013 on The Bay Cave:
PLAYERS: Ondrej Palat,  Ryan Malone
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Lightning
The expected return of Ryan Malone will have to wait as he is still not ready to join the Lightning from his injury. Instead, the Bolts announced Sunday they have recalled forward Ondrej Palat from AHL affiliate Syracuse Crunch.  Here is the release from the team: Palat, 6-foot, 180 pounds, has played in 49 games with the Crunch this season, notching 11 goals and 44 points with 33 penalty minutes.  His 33 assists lead Syracuse and are sixth in the AHL, while his plus-24 rating is second among forwards.  Palat is third overall on the team for points.  He has also added five power play goals. The 21-year-old recorded his first professional hat trick on February 26 against the Rochester Americans.   A native of Frydek-Mistek, Czech Republic, Palat has skated in 110 AHL games, last year with the Norfolk Admirals and this season with Syracuse.  He has registered 20 goals and 74 points.  In 2011-12 he helped Norfolk to the Calder Cup Championship, notching four goals and nine points in 18...

Tom Pyatt scores a goal off his face

Via Diehardsport  |  March 05, 2013
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tom Pyatt scored unconventionally against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.  His teammate Keaton Thompson went to shoot the puck and fired it a little bit high, catching Pyatt right on the nose.  The puck then took an odd bounce off his nose and went past Marc Andre-Fleury, who was not prepared for the last-second change of direction.  Pyatt...

Evgeni Malkin scores a goal of the year candidate against Tampa Bay Lightning

Via Diehardsport  |  March 05, 2013
After he abused the Tampa Bay Lightning with the goal of the year last season, Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Evgeni Malkin decided that his first game back since suffering a concussion was the right time to do it again.  Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, they seem to not have learned their lesson about giving Malkin the puck in space.  Lightning defenseman Eric Brewer dove to try and...

Michael Stuart: Lightning Must Keep Calm and Stay the Course

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 03, 2013
After starting the season with a 6-1-0 record, the Tampa Bay Lightning are 3-10-1 in their last 14 games. For a team that prides itself as one that should be competing for the Southeast Division crown, that’s simply not good enough. To go even further, that record could be described as embarrassing. With the parity in today’s National Hockey League, there is no excuse...

Steven Stamkos scores from a nearly impossible angle

Via Diehardsport  |  March 03, 2013
This one-timer goal against the Boston Bruins is just more proof that Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos has one of the best shots in the entire NHL.  Stamkos put the shot just between his knee and the post, with the goalie’s angle just a bit off, and it was his league leading 15th goal of the year.  Bruins backup goalie Anton Khudobin had nearly no chance to stop this...

Lightning fade away against the Bruins

Via The Bay Cave  |  March 03, 2013
The Lightning began their game Saturday strong but were unable to play with the same intensity for two more periods. As a result, they fell to the Boston Bruins by a score of 3-2.  Tampa Bay jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period when Steven Stamkos and Alex Killorn scored on two power plays. But three unanswered goals by the Bruins were too much for the Lightning to overcome...

Lightning aren’t thrilled with NHL’s proposed realignment plan

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 03, 2013
The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning are among the biggest "losers" of the NHL's realignment proposal as the Florida teams may end up stranded in what is essentially a "Northeast Division"--perhaps because the Atlantic and/or Southeast Divisions' owners have been among Gary Bettman's biggest supporters over the past two lockouts--and the Tampa...

Michael Stuart: Crosby and Company Hand Lightning Fifth Straight Loss

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 05, 2013
Looking for their first win in over a week, the Tampa Bay Lightning came out and put up a good fight against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Unfortunately, for the fifth straight game, small mistakes and giveaways added up to the Lightning’s demise. Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins put on an impressive show and walked out of the CONSOL Energy Center with a 4-3 win and two...

The Bruins have been great against opposing power plays this season, but most opponents don’t have Steven Stamkos. The Tampa Bay sniper was at it again on Saturday afternoon, sparking the Lightning to an early two-goal lead thanks to a power-play goal by their lead scorer. Now, the Bruins will have to respond if they intend to mount a comeback versus the potent Lightning offense...

Michael Stuart: Small Mistakes Cost Lightning and Hand Bruins Victory

Via HockeyBuzz  |  March 02, 2013
Effort and a good start did not add up to victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday afternoon. The Bolts put in a solid, workman-like effort, but ultimately made too many little mistakes that allowed the Boston Bruins to skate off with a 3-2 victory. For the Lightning, that’s a fourth straight loss, and another tilt that will only add to the team’s growing frustration...
