## Resource

Tampa Bay Lightning open preseason with lineup surprises and rookie standouts. Can Conor Geekie and Sam O'Reilly secure permanent roster spots as the team experiments with new combinations? Greg Stephen breaks down the Lightning’s 2-1 win over the Nashville Predators, spotlighting heavy ice time for superstars like Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel, the emergence of Ilya Mikheyev on the top line, and penalty trouble sparked by Scott Sabourin. The episode explores Anaheim Ducks' offseason overhaul, with key departures leaving their blue line exposed, and assesses whether their youthful offense can compete in the West. The Prediction Corner forecasts the roles and point projections for Max Crozier, Conor Geekie, and Sam O'Reilly as injuries open doors for Lightning prospects. Will the Lightning’s lineup gambles pay off, or is more change on the horizon before the regular season begins? 00:00 Preseason Game 1 Recap 12:03 Anaheim Ducks Preview 21:11 Prediction Corner: Roster Projections LINK TO PREDICTIONS SHEET: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-ZW_FUoCN-LzaOBRJiYlNQz0MN-dpkx2UjwDLltM3hM/edit?usp=sharing 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!
