Lightning Sign Physical Forward Viel | Tampa Bay Lightning News

Tampa Bay Lightning lock in physical force Jeffrey Viel with a five-year, $2.5M deal—adding depth and grit to their roster after a whirlwind season split between Boston and Anaheim, where he racked up 121 hits in 45 games. Though not a scorer (just 6 goals in 99 NHL games), Viel brings AHL offensive flashes and a fearless, puck-busting style that could anchor their fourth line. With limited PK experience but a proven willingness to drop the gloves, this signing signals the Lightning’s commitment to toughness and depth—even if his NHL role remains uncertain.
