Tampa Bay Lightning Goalies

  • Scott Wedgewood (Dallas – .915 save percentage)
  • Connor Ingram (Arizona – .907 save percentage)

In order to give this team a chance, we are going to bend our own rules a little bit when it comes to the goaltenders. There isn’t a goalie that played a game in the NHL this past season that ever officially stepped on the ice with the Lightning.

However, both Wedgewood and Ingram were under contract with Tampa in the past and so we are going to count them.

Wedgewood signed with Tampa in 2019 and spent the year in Syracuse. He was inside the bubble with the Bolts when they won the cup.

Ingram was drafted by Tampa in 2016 but was traded to Nashville in 2019.

Neither of these guys have been a proven starter yet, but if put in a rotation they may be able to hold up well enough to give this team a chance.
