News and Notes
Jul 1 The Lightning are interested in signing Kolzig, reports the St. Petersburg Times.

Recommendation: Interesting -- he could be a back-up but he could also compete with Mike Smith as starter. The competiton would definitely make Smith a better player. More as it becomes available.

Jul 1 The Lightning signed veteran Kolzig to a one-year contract on Tuesday. The 38-year-old goaltender had spent his entire career with the Washington Capitals.

Advice: Kolzig, who signed during the first day of free agency, will likely share time in goal with incumbent starter Mike Smith. He has 301 wins, which ties him for 22nd place on the NHL career list.
