After that, just four games remain in the month of February before the end of the regular season.

The Lightning are in the process of fine-tuning the team for a stretch run to the playoffs, and have made some changes as well.

They’ve announced that Micheal Teslack will be taking over as Head Coach, replacing former coach Jeff Koberinski, and he’ll be joined by Darryl Trautman as an Assistant Coach.

A release from the team also states the Lightning are anticipating a few more moves before Feb. 10, when rosters need to be set.
