While the former Vezina Trophy winner may have been a bit off his game in the early part of the season, he has definitely been a major force in the team’s recent success. In other games, like Saturday night’s win over the Panthers, he made “only” 24 saves, but many of them came at key moments of the game. New adidas home and road jerseys will be on display and available for pre-ordering starting tomorrow, Saturday, June 24, exclusively at Tampa Bay Sports locations inside AMALIE Arena and International Plaza in Tampa.

In the second round, the Lightning faced the Montreal Canadiens; Lecavalier, Richards, and Khabibulin led the team to a four-game sweep of Montreal. Davidson remained in Detroit, but appointed Tom Wilson as team president to handle day-to-day management of the team. Wilson immediately fired Demers, who despite his best efforts was unable to overcome the damage from the Kokusai Green ownership. Wilson persuaded Ottawa Senators general manager Rick Dudley to take over as the Lightning's new general manager; Dudley, in turn, brought Vipers coach Steve Ludzik in as the team's new head coach. Wilson, Dudley and Ludzik had helped make the Vipers one of the premier minor league hockey franchises, having won a Turner Cup in only their third season in Detroit . No matter how well the Lightning offense functions, their success is always going to start in the net.

They won the prized Stanley Cup in 2004, edging past the Calgary Flames with a 2-1 victory in game 7. They returned to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2015, but their campaign for a second championship fell short when they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks, in 6 games. More recently, the Lightning won their first Presidents' Trophy for best regular-season record.

However, in the first round of the playoffs, they were swept in four games by the Columbus Blue Jackets, becoming the first Presidents' Trophy winner to be swept in the first round of the playoffs. The series is widely regarded as one of the biggest upsets in league history. Jeremy Roenick of NBC Sports described Tampa's elimination as "one of the biggest letdowns in history", while the Tampa Bay Times described it as "the disappointment that all others are measured against". On March 26, 2016, the Lightning announced cornerstone defenseman Anton Stralman had suffered a fractured leg in their game against the New York Islanders at home. Stamkos was out of the lineup for the team's game on April 2 against the New Jersey Devils in Tampa; GM Steve Yzerman announced after the game that the captain would miss one-to-three months due to a blood clot in his arm.

Like Vasilevskiy, Cooper is also someone in the Lightning organization that we sometimes take for granted. With the win against the Predators, he became the fastest coach in NHL history to reach 450 career wins. He accomplished this feat one game quicker than Bruce Beaudreau by doing it in 741 games.

This was, at the time, one of the best-ever showings by an NHL expansion team. Bradley's 42 goals gave Tampa Bay fans optimism for the next season; it would be a team record until the 2006–07 season. Finishing the 2014–15 season with 108 points, the Lightning placed second in the Atlantic Division and qualified for the playoffs for the second-straight season, scoring the most goals out of any team in the NHL. Tampa Bay eliminated the Detroit Red Wings in seven games in the first round of the playoffs before facing Montreal in the second round. The Lightning won the first three games of the series and had a chance to sweep the Canadiens; however, Montreal responded with wins in Games 4 and 5 to extend the series to a sixth game.

It was another solid week for the Tampa Bay Lightning as they rolled off three victories scoring 15 goals along the way. Blank ADIZERO Authentic Lightning jerseys will retail for $179.99, considerably less than in recent years. Authentic lettering will be available for purchase for an additional $100.

Lecavalier also broke the franchise's goal-scoring record, finishing with a league-leading 52 goals. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Lightning and the Rangers split the first two games of the series in New York, with the Lightning winning Game 2 of the series thanks to a Tyler Johnson hat-trick. The series then shifted to Tampa, where the Lightning had a come-from-behind overtime victory in Game 3 but lost Game 4 to even the series at two games apiece. During Game 5 in New York, goaltender Ben Bishop recorded his second shutout of the playoffs in a 2–0 victory, but the Rangers responded in Game 6 by scoring seven goals to tie the series at three games apiece. In Game 7, Bishop recorded his third shutout of the playoffs in another 2–0 victory against the Rangers to lead the Lightning to their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals since 2004.

That team's .268 winning percentage is still the worst in franchise history. The Lightning compiled a 46–25–11 record with 103 points in the 2010–11 season, matching a franchise record for wins in a season. After holding the first place in the Southeast Division for several months, they fell to second after a poor performance in March. However, their record was solid enough for second in the Southeast Division and fifth in the Eastern Conference, and they returned to the playoffs for the first time since the 2006–07 season. Scoring 31 goals and assisting on 68, Martin St. Louis finished second in the NHL in points. Williams knew very little about hockey, but was very visible and outspoken, and immediately pumped an additional $6 million into the team's payroll.

On September 11, 2018, it was announced that Steve Yzerman would be resigning from his position as general manager, and Julien BriseBois would be currently taking his place. During the 2018–19 season, the Lightning clinched their first Presidents' Trophy and second consecutive division title after a 4–1 win over the Arizona Coyotes. Winning their final regular season game against the Boston Bruins, the Lightning finished with 62 wins, tying the NHL record set by the 1995–96 Detroit Red Wings for most wins in a season. Andrei Vasilevskiy became the first player in franchise history to win the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender.

On February 7, 2019, the Lightning unveiled a new black uniform, lacking any blue and white elements and featuring sublimated black and grey patterns on the sleeves, socks and back numbers. Andrei Vasilevskiy backstopped the Lightning to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in 2021. With only 84 points, they fell short of reaching the playoffs, ending the season third in the Southeast Division and tenth in the Eastern Conference. At the start of the All-Star Break on January 25, 2008, the Lightning had a 20–25–5 record, and with 45 points, were in last place in both the Southeast Division and the Eastern Conference.

However, in the semifinals, they went down in five games to the New Jersey Devils, who went on to win the Stanley Cup. In the first round of the playoffs, the Lightning ousted the New York Islanders in five games, with Khabibulin posting shutouts in games 1, 3, and 4. The Lightning's flagship radio outlet is WHPT, which replaced WFLA as of the 2022–23 NHL season.

Phil Esposito assigned himself president and general manager, while Tony became chief scout. Terry Crisp, who played for the Philadelphia Flyers when they won two Stanley Cups in the mid-1970s and coached the Calgary Flames to a Stanley Cup in 1989, was tapped as the first head coach. Phil Esposito also hired former teammates from the Boston Bruins of the 1970s, including former linemate Wayne Cashman as an assistant coach and former Bruin trainer John "Frosty" Forristal as the team's trainer. The inaugural team photo has him flanked by Cashman and player Ken Hodge, Jr., son of his other Bruins' linemate. "Against that team you don't want to play behind, right? It would have been nice to get another one and get the go-ahead goal."
