Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman can join a rare list of players this week in the Triple Gold Club.
Only 30 players since 1930 have won a Stanley Cup, IIHF World Championship and Olympic gold medal. Hedman can become 31.
“That would be the pinnacle.”

GUENTZ!
The #GoBolts forward makes it 5-3 on the one-timer!

The #GoBolts Olympian on that and more ahead of today's clash vs. Team USA:
Good morning! Lots of #GoBolts Olympic action today and they’re off to a good start.
Zemgus Girgensons with a primary assist already for Latvia against Wojciech Stachowiak and Germany.

Day 2 of men's hockey at the 2026 #WinterOlympics is officially in the books, but only after more offensive showings (and wins) for #GoBolts players.
JJ Moser snagged the first multi-point game, and both Team USA and Team Canada are 1-0 (and how about Wojo and Girgy?)

Tic. Tac. Toe.
Wow.
#WinterOlympics
Now Wojo is in on the fun!
Syracuse Crunch forward Wojciech Stachowiak just earned his first career Olympic point with an assist on Tim Stützle’s goal to put Germany ahead 2-1 against Denmark.
The #GoBolts are all over the puck so far these Olympics.
Crazy first period of Olympic hockey for Team USA.
Jake Guentzel and Team USA tied 1-1 through 20 minutes against Latvia, which already has an assist from #GoBolts forward Zemgus Girgensons in his return to the Olympics.
No surprise, but #GoBolts forward Brandon Hagel is among Jon Cooper's first set of penalty killers for Team Canada at the 2026 #WinterOlympics

The doors at Benchmark International Arena served as a sort of transglobal portal last week, warping usual #GoBolts allies into international rivals.
With the 2026 Winter Olympics set to begin on Wednesday, Lightning players are ready to become foes.

Hi y’all!
There will be one last Into the Blue podcast released on Monday for @boltsradio.bsky.social before several #GoBolts players begin Olympic play this week.
So…asking for any questions you Bolts fans might have now that we’ve reached the break?
Thank you!
Roster update: The St. Louis Blues have claimed forward Jack Finley on waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The 6’6” center with 2 G, 1 A in 22 GP for the Lightning was placed on waivers by the #GoBolts yesterday.
All bets were off for the final rendition of the 2025-26 Battle of Florida on Thursday night.
Andrei Vasilevskiy was spectacular, the rivalry was fierce as usual and the #GoBolts Olympians warmed up by torching the Panthers in a 6-1 demolition derby.
