The 2021–22 Tampa Bay Lightning season was the 30th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on December 16, 1991.[2] The Lightning entered the season as the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions.
The Lightning rejoined the Atlantic Division after a one-season stint in the Central Division due to re-alignment under league's return to play protocols. On April 14, 2022, the Lightning clinched a playoff berth after a 4–3 overtime win against the Anaheim Ducks.[3] On June 11, 2022, the Lightning defeated the New York Rangers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals, clinching its third consecutive Stanley Cup Finals appearance and fifth overall.[4] In addition, they also became the first team to clinch three consecutive Stanley Cup Finals appearances since the Edmonton Oilers (from 1983 to 1985), while also joining the Montreal Canadiens (from 1976 to 1980) and the New York Islanders (from 1980 to 1984) as the only teams in NHL history to post at least 11 consecutive playoff series victories.[5] Despite the Lightning's playoff run, the team came up short for a third consecutive Stanley Cup title, falling to the Colorado Avalanche in six games.[6]
Off-season
July
The Lightning's off-season began after becoming back to back champions with the winning of its third Stanley Cup in franchise history in a 4–1 series win over the Montreal Canadiens. The win also made the Lightning only the ninth franchise in NHL history to win a back to back championship.[7]
On July 17, 2021, the Lightning announced the re-signing of defenseman Fredrik Claesson to a one-year, two-way contract. Claesson appeared in two regular season games with the Lightning after coming over via trade from the San Jose Sharks.[8]
That same day, the Lightning traded the negotiating rights to forward Barclay Goodrow to the New York Rangers in exchange for a 7th-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.[9] Goodrow was a member of the Lightning's back to back championships.

Johnson also scored 4 goals and 3 assists in playoffs during the Lightning's playoff run to the team's 3rd championship. [21] The Lightning will be using Seabrook's cap hit to stay cap compliant by placing him on long term injured reserve (LTIR) at the start of the season.[22][23]
On July 28, 2021, the Lightning began the first day of free agency by announcing the signing of free agents Gabriel Dumont, Charles Hudon, Darren Raddysh, Andrej Sustr and Maxime Legace to one-year contracts.

The next free agent signing announced by the Lightning was that of goaltender Brian Elliott. The team signed Elliott to a one-year contract valued at $900k. Elliott spent the previous three seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers. Elliott was signed as the replacement of Curtis McElhinney as the team's backup goaltender.[25]
The next signing was 2020 Stanley Cup champion Zach Bogosian. Bogosian left the team as a free agent after helping the team to its second Stanley Cup by signing a one-year deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bogosian signed a three-year contract that carries an annual cap hit of $850,000.[26]
The team next announced that it had signed Brayden Point to an 8-year contract extension valued at $75 million.[27] The Lightning draft pick has skated in 351 career NHL games with the team, recording 139 goals and 310 points.

The regular season schedule was released on July 22, 2021. Initially the Lightning were scheduled for only three games in February because NHL players were planning to participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics.[62] The 2022 NHL All-Star Game was also scheduled to be held in February prior to the Olympics. On December 22, it was announced that NHL players would not play in the Olympics due to COVID-19 concerns, as well as the number of regular season games postponed throughout the league due to COVID-19. Having pulled out of the Olympics, the league plans to reschedule postponed games for dates in February, while the two-day all-star event is still planned to be held.[63]
