Julien BriseBois just finished up speaking, said Oliver Bjorkstrand and Corey Perry are expected to be heading to the free agent market on Wednesday, but they are still in contact with Group 6 UFA Declan Carlile trying to see if a deal can be reached prior to July 1 #GoBolts

Good morning from Benchmark International Arena. Optional skate in advance of tonight’s Game 7.

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

Sending love to Darren and his family after the passing of his father, Dwayne Raddysh 💙

Corey Perry tells TSN he's trying to get his bags packed and get to Toronto to join #GoBolts and is prepared to play against the Leafs tomorrow night

What is not shown here is that Tkachuk came off the bench during the delayed call (a legal change) and circled slowly from behind to deliver this hit

[Tampa Bay Lightning @TBLightning]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Mr. Vinik 💙

Jon Cooper on Brayden Point. “We avoided the worst case scenario. His season is not over. But he is week to week”.

Injury Update: Victor Hedman will have a procedure on his elbow on Monday. He is expected to return in early February and play for Team Sweden in the Olympics.

[Lightning Insider @Erik_Erlendsson]

Jon Cooper said that Brandon Hagel has been ruled out for tomorrow's Game 5 #GoBolts #TBLightning "and . . . it's, you know why.''

[Mike Smith @mikesmithcomedy]

Per @Gabby_Shirley_ , Cooper confirms Cirelli will play tonight.

[Gabby Shirley @Gabby_Shirley_]

Jon Cooper confirms Anthony Cirelli will play tonight

#GoBolts

[Mike Smith @mikesmithcomedy]

#GoBolts morning skate is underway. All players on the ice except Cirelli and Bjorkstrand.

Not reading too much into Cirelli. He’s still dealing with the Game 1 injury, and it would be surprising if he misses tonight.

[Mike Smith @mikesmithcomedy]

Head Coach Jon Cooper confirms that Oliver Bjorkstrand will miss Round One of the playoffs.

@TonifromFl03 Congratulations to him!

Dear Mr. @68Jagr: Still looking for a team in North America to play for, by chance? My novice team is Clearwater, FL, is looking for players. Think “Bad News Bears on Ice.” All the beer you can drink, to boot. It’ll be fun!!! Let me know!
