So, what did we learn about the Tampa Bay Lightning prospects after their 7-4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night? Honestly, not much that we didn’t already know. Conor Geekie is the best prospect in the system. The 2024 draft picks need some seasoning. Milo Roelens is a large individual. You know, the basics.

The final score isn’t indicative of the game as Carolina potted two empty-net goals late to extend a 5-4 lead that had been a 4-3 deficit entering the third period. The Bolts scored three in a row in the second period to take that lead after falling behind earlier in the period when some bad bounces didn’t go their way.
