Tampa Bay Lightning Second Defensive Pair

  • Radko Gudas (Florida – 2 goals, 15 assists)
  • Kevin Shattenkirk (Anaheim – 4 goals, 23 assists)

Gudas spent parts of three seasons with Tampa before moving on to Philadelphia in 2015. Know for his physicality even when with the Lightning, Gudas has become even more physical as he career progresses. He was second in the league this season with 312 hits, one season after he racked up 355 hits.

Shattenkirk was only with Tampa for the 2019-2020 season, but he got to lift the Cup before signing with Anaheim. His time out west hasn’t been amazing, but he is still a capable offensive defenseman that can move the puck as needed.
