Lightning Add Depth with Three New Signings | Tampa Bay Lightning News

Jul 1, 2026 · 2 min

The Tampa Bay Lightning are beefing up their defense and goaltending with three new one-year signings: defenseman Michael Callahan, and goalies Mads Sogaard and Olivier Rodrigue—all aged 25 or 26. Callahan, a former Bruins prospect with solid AHL stats and NHL experience, brings depth to Tampa’s blue line. Sogaard, an Olympic medalist and former Senators goalie with NHL starts, offers international pedigree despite slightly below-average save percentages. Rodrigue, a steady AHL performer with brief NHL stints, brings proven reliability. All three were drafted in the 2010s—Callahan by Arizona in 2018, Sogaard by Ottawa in 2019, and Rodrigue by Edmonton in 2018—and now they’re all chasing new chances with the Lightning. Could these draft picks make an impact this season?
