Lightning Round: One month since back-to-back Stanley Cup Championships

Yesterday was exactly one month since Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. On that night the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Montreal Canadiens, thanks to a lone goal by Ross Colton in the second period, and clinched their third Stanley Cup in the franchise history. They became back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions.

Many things have changed since that moment. The Lightning have lost their entire third line, which played a big part in both previous championships: Yanni Gourde was claimed by the Seattle Kraken during the Expansion Draft, while Barclay Goodrow and Blake Coleman found new homes in New York and Calgary respectively when the free agency window was opened.
