The One and Done Lightning
#2: Chris Kontos played with 18 teams in 16 years. In his last year he played for the Tampa Bay Lightning who were in their first year. “Kontos continued to provide solid offense to the expansion Lightning, scoring 27 goals and 54 points over 66 games in the team’s inaugural season. His one season with the Lightning, however, would be his last in the NHL.” [Raw Charge]
#3: Mark Recchi showed up to the 2007-08 Tampa Bay Lightning amidst a lot of changes. “The team used four goaltenders, 18 defensemen, and 21 forwards throughout the season. Despite the turnover on the roster and with the coaching staff, Recchi put up 13 goals and 45 points in 62 games for the Lightning.” [Raw Charge]
#4: Kurtis Foster. “Prior to joining the Lightning, Foster’s career high in assists was 20 with the Minnesota Wild in 2006-07, and his career high in points was 28 with the Wild in 2005-06. He broke through both of those career highs with 34 assists and 42 points for the Lightning.” [Raw Charge]
The Crunch/Prospects
Brett Howden and Taylor Raddysh were unfortunately very quiet in Canada’s 7-4 win over Sweden on friday. But this goal by Predators prospect David Farrance for the USA was pretty good!
