Paul Strikes as Lightning Survive Blue Jackets’ Third Period Surge
TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa Bay Lightning Forward Nick Paul had a goal and two assists, and the Bolts took their fifth win in the last six games with a 5-3 sequestering of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday evening.
Five-Goal First Period Allows Bolts to Thwart Shark Attack
TAMPA, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Lightning have been able to reset and move forward after a long streak or a tough loss. After an 0-3-1 streak in early November, Tampa Bay came back and beat the then-15-1-0 Winnipeg Jets, 4-1, in Amalie Arena.
Ducks Lose Game, Zegras
Are the Anaheim Ducks almost good enough? Not to contend, but to be in most games they play. Their last ten games, they’re 6-3-1, which is a .650 points pace. In other words, they get two-thirds of the points they contend for. Do this all year, and you’d have over one hundred standings points, far and away enough to make the playoffs.

HOCKEY HISTORY
Retro Rangers: One Man’s Fantasy is Another’s Reality
Raise your hand if you ever fantasized about practicing with the Rangers and having a couple of beers with them later on. Well, our fantasies became Gene “Scoop” Koerner’s reality as he did that and much more when he became the Blueshirts practice goalie in the 1970s.

Goaltenders Lorne “Gump” Worsley and Johnny Bower had a lot in common. Both made their NHL debuts with the New York Rangers in the 1950s, both have earned multiple Vezina Trophies, both are members of the NHL Hall of Fame and both played into their 40s and won four Stanley Cups during their long playing careers.

NHL 24 Fails to Deliver
The latest edition of EA Sports’ NHL hockey video game series – NHL 24 – is available now on PlayStation and Xbox. Last season’s release was quite disappointing, and our hope was that NHL 24 would represent a huge leap forward and take full advantage of next-generation console power. Unfortunately, it falls short and disappoints again this time, in some even more critical ways.
