Lightning Round: The night of tributes

The last night’s game was memorable not only because the Tampa Bay Lightning’s confident win over the Chicago Blackhawks, but also because of the three players, who raised the Cup very last summer, returning to Amalie Arena for the first time in different team’s jersey.

The main hero of the night was obviously Tyler Johnson. A 31-year-old forward had spent nine seasons with the Lightning, winning the Stanley Cup in 2020 and 2021. Last summer he was traded Chicago in exchange of the contract of Brent Seabrook due to the Lightning’s cap crunches.
