Playoffs
Lightning Nab Mitchell to Shore Up D Depth
The Lightning pull off a slick deal with the Red Wings, snagging veteran defenseman Ian Mitchell for a pair of AHL forwards as they eye blue-line insurance down the stretch. At 27, Mitchell brings 110 NHL games and a scorching plus-27 season in Grand Rapids, the kind of steady hand Julien BriseBois loves stashing in Syracuse for injury calls. Tampa's front office knows depth wins Cups, and this move whispers they're not leaving anything to chance with the playoffs looming.
