Today’s featured player is one of the newest members of the organization - Blake Coleman. He’s also the second one in a row that scored his first NHL goal in a non-Lightning uniform. Of the twenty-three players lined up for this project, nine of them feature players scoring their maidan NHL goal in a different sweater.
However, the way Coleman scored is one of the primary reasons Tampa Bay traded for him. The 28-year-old forward blends defensive prowess with a nifty little scoring touch (20+ goals in each of the the last two seasons) and is the perfect complimentary player for the Lightning’s high-powered offense.
