Nashville Knights The 1994–95 Tampa Bay Lightning season was the third season in franchise history. The team traded defenseman Shawn Chambers to the New Jersey Devils and forward Denis Savard to the Chicago Blackhawks; both players went on to have memorable playoff performances in 1995. Brian Bradley and Petr Klima both led the team in goals with 13, while Rob Zamuner led the team with 3 shorthanded goals. By April 21, the Lightning had a 17–22–3 record with only 118 goals against in 42 games. Although they had only scored 109 goals, Darren Puppa's solid goaltending kept the team ahead of the New York Islanders in the Atlantic Division standings. However, the Lightning finished the season with six-straight losses, getting outscored 26–11 to finish 17–28–3 for 37 points. An Islanders' loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on May 2 ensured that the Lightning would not finish last place in the division.
