## Resource

Tampa Bay Lightning’s offseason shakeup sparks big questions on special teams. With Darren Raddysh and Nick Paul shipped to Toronto and John Carlson joining the blue line, how will head coach Jon Cooper fine-tune the power play and penalty kill? Can a Carlson-Kucherov combo reinvent Tampa’s man advantage, and will Anthony Cirelli and Brandon Hagel anchor an elite penalty kill once again? Hosts Nick Morgan and Greg Stephen break down the impact of new faces like Ilya Mikheyev on the Lightning’s depth, analyzing potential lineups and energy management for an 84-game grind. Plus, the end of Steve Yzerman’s tenure in Detroit is put under the microscope—what went wrong and why did the formula that built a contender in Tampa Bay fizzle with the Red Wings? Don’t miss this fast-paced look at a team in transition. 00:00 Offseason Changes & Schedule 03:40 Power Play Adjustments 14:00 Penalty Kill & Detroit GM Change Watch Locked On Lightning on YouTube 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@LockedOnLightning Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL Follow Us on Social Media!
