Young star Connor Geekie is entering his second season with the Lightning but this season he is hopeful to break through. Th 6-foot-4 and 212-pound center played 52 games with the Lightning last season, producing eight goals and six assists for 14 points, along with one power play goal, three game-winning goals, and 97 hits. The 11th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft by the Arizona Coyotes, he is developing into a solid player who could make an impact this season.

Giacomin played 14 seasons in the NHL and spent 10-plus with the Rangers, winning 267 of his 290 games in New York and the 1971 Vezina Trophy awarded annually to the league's top goaltender alongside teammate Gilles Villemure. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1987 and had his No. 1 retired by the Rangers two years later on March 15, 1989.
