The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled forward Ryan Craig from their AHL affiliate in Norfolk.

Jason Spezza scored a power-play goal 4:17 into overtime to give the Ottawa Senators a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.

After three games and two periods of trying to spread the wealth, Rick Tocchet reverted to Tampa Bay's money line in advance of tonight's game against the Flyers.

The Lightning's shootout woes have been well documented, but a struggling power play has also contributed to their mediocre start.

Steven Stamkos had two power-play goals and an assist to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 on Thursday night.

Steven Stamkos lit the lamp twice to lead Tampa Bay past San Jose, 5-2, at St. Pete Times Forum.

Coach Rick Tocchet said he admires David Hale 's "gritty" game. Add a dip in the performance of Kurtis Foster and Hale has pushed into the top six on defense.

The Lightning needs to tighten up its defense in the final minute of a period. Two last-minute goals did in Tampa Bay on Saturday night in an excruciating 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres at the St.

Mike Smith won for the first time in nine months, James Wright scored his first NHL goal and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Thursday night.

Milan Michalek had his first three-goal game in the NHL, scoring twice short-handed and once on a power play in the Ottawa Senators' 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.

The Tampa Bay Lightning notched their first victory of the 2009-10 campaign, beating their nemesis, Carolina, 5-2. Going into the game, the Hurricanes had won eight straight meetings with the Lightning, but it wasn't going to happen this night.

It's no 'Dancing with the Stars' The show is called Battle of the Blades and can be seen weekly on Canada's CBC television network.

Like the franchise itself, the goaltender was flat on his back. Mike Smith's face was twisted in agony, and the blood streamed freely down his face.

But the Lightning goaltender, without prompting, suddenly steered it head-on toward what he is doing wrong.

A pair of Southeast Division members seeking to turn around an undesired start to the 2009-10 season will face off this evening at Raleigh's RBC Center, where the Carolina Hurricanes return home to battle the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Lightning picked up where it left off last season, with a defenseman sidelined because of injury.

Ilya Kovalchuk and Rich Peverley each had two goals and an assist, as the Atlanta Thrashers rolled over the Tampa Bay Lightning, 6-3, in the season-opener for these Southeast Division foes.

After 11 seasons playing and living in the Pacific Northwest, defenseman Mattias Ohlund took his hockey career to the opposite corner of the NHL map this season.

Rick Tocchet thinks Martin St. Louis would make a potent addition to Canada's Olympic hockey team.
