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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

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.

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.

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. Goodrow was a member of the Lightning's back to back championships.

On July 18, 2021, the NHL released the full list of players protected in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft. The Lightning opted to protect Erik Cernak, Anthony Cirelli, Victor Hedman, Nikita Kucherov, Ryan McDonagh, Brayden Point, Mikhail Sergachev, captain Steven Stamkos and Andrei Vasilevskiy. This left Blake Coleman, Ross Colton, Cal Foote, Yanni Gourde, Tyler Johnson, Mathieu Joseph, Patrick Maroon, Curtis McElhinney, Ondrej Palat, Jan Rutta, Luke Schenn and Mitchell Stephens from their back to back championship rosters exposed for the Seattle Kraken to select.

On July 19, 2021, the Lightning announced that it had signed a 2-year extension with the Orlando Solar Bears to keep it as its ECHL affiliate.

On July 21, 2021, the Seattle Kraken selected forward Yanni Gourde during their expansion draft from the Lightning. Gourde spent the past six seasons with the team. He skated in 310 games, recording 80 goals, 107 assists and winner of 2 Stanley Cups.

On July 24, 2021, the Lightning announced that it had re-signed forward Gemel Smith to a 2-year contract extension. Smith appeared in five games with the Lightning during the regular season, recording three assists.

On July 24 and 25, 2021, the Lightning made seven selections in the 2021. The Lightning picked 4 forwards and 3 defensemen. The following players made up their picks: Roman Schmidt (D), Dylan Duke (LW), Cameron MacDonald (C), Alex Gagne (D), Daniil Pylenkov (D), Robert Flinton (LW) and Niko Huuhtanen (RW).

On July 26, 2021, the Lightning announced that it had issued qualify offers to restricted free agents Alex Barre-Boulet, Ross Colton, Boris Katchouk, Taylor Raddysh, Otto Somppi, Sean Day and Cal Foote. Former draft picks Ryan Lohin and Dominik Masin were not issued qualifying offers, which resulted in them becoming unrestricted free agents.

On July 27, 2021, the Lightning announced that it had re-signed Otto Somppi to a one-year contract extension. Somppi appeared in 32 games with the Syracuse Crunch last season, recording 12 goals and 26 points.

Later that evening, the Lightning reached an agreement with the Chicago Blackhawks to trade Tyler Johnson and a 2nd-round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft in exchange for defensemen Brent Seabrook. Johnson spent the past 9-seasons with the Lightning. This past season he scored 8 goals and 14 assists in 55 regular season games. Johnson also scored 4 goals and 3 assists in playoffs during the Lightning's playoff run to the team's 3rd championship. 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.

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. Dumont and Sustr had both previously played for the team. Darren Raddysh is the brother of Lightning prospect Taylor Raddysh.

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.

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.

The team next announced that it had signed Brayden Point to an 8-year contract extension valued at $75 million. The Lightning draft pick has skated in 351 career NHL games with the team, recording 139 goals and 310 points. Point was also a member of the Lightning's back to back championships.

The Lightning moved back to free agent signings with the signing of Pierre-Edouard Bellemare to a two-year contract. The Bellemare contract will carry a cap hit of $1 million. Bellemare spent the past two seasons with the Colorado Avalanche. He recorded 18 goals and 15 assists during that timeframe.

The Lightning finished the day with the signing of free agent Remi Elie to a one-year contract. Elie has appeared in 106 career NHL games between the Dallas Stars and Buffalo Sabres. He spent the past season playing for the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League.

On July 29, 2021, the Lightning announced the signing of forward Corey Perry to a two-year contract valued at $2 million. Perry joins the team after having lost to the team in consecutive finals with the Dallas Stars and Montreal Canadiens. Perry has been in the league for 16 years, recording 386 goals and 818 points over that span.

The same day the team announced that it had re-signed defenseman Cal Foote to a two-year contract extension. The contract is to carry a cap hit of $850k. Foote was drafted by the team in 2017, and has skated in 35 career NHL games.

On July 30, 2021, the Lightning announced the re-signing of forward Alex Barre-Boulet to a three-year contract extension. The contract will carry an annual cap hit of $758k. Barre-Boulet appeared in 15 games last season after making his NHL debut with the team.

That day the Lightning also announced that it had traded forward Mitchell Stephens to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for 6th-round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Stephens had played in 45 games with the Lightning over the past two seasons. Stephens had three goals and four assists in the Lightning's 2020 championship run.

Only July 31, 2021, the Lightning announced that it had re-signed forwards Taylor Raddysh and Boris Katchouk to three-year contract extensions. Both contracts will carry an annual cap hit of $758k. Raddysh has skated in 159 career AHL games, recording 49 goals and 110 points. Katchuouk has skated in 164 career AHL games, recording 36 goals and 89 points. Both forwards are expected to compete for the open roster spots at forward.

Training camp

September

On September 21, 2021, the Lightning announced their 60-man 2021 training camp roster. The initial roster consists of 36 forwards, 18 defensemen and 6 goaltenders. Amongst the contracted players are 6 invitees that are not under contract with the Lightning.

On September 28, 2021, the Lightning signed General Manager Julien BriseBois to a contract extension. BriseBois was the General Manager of the team during their back to back cup wins and has been with the franchise since 2010.

On September 29, 2021, the Lightning announced their first round of training camp roster cuts. Forwards Jack Finley, Niko Huuhtanen, Cameron MacDonald and Declan McDonnell were reassigned to their junior clubs. Defenseman Roman Schmidt was also reassigned to his junior club. The Lightning also released Xavier Cormier and Avery Winslow from their camp tryouts.

October

On October 4, 2021, the Lightning announced its second round of training camp roster cuts. The team cut 13 forwards, 6 defensemen and 3 goaltenders. This reduced the roster to 18 forwards, 11 defensemen and 3 goaltenders.

Later in the day the team announced that it had cut four more players from its training camp roster. Gabriel Dumont, Charles Hudon, Sean Day and Darren Raddysh were assigned to the Syracuse Crunch to prepare for the start of the AHL season. This further trimmed the roster down to 16 forwards, 9 defensemen and 3 goaltenders.

On October 8, 2021, the Lightning announced the reduction of the training camp roster by two players. Simon Ryfors was assigned to the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL, and Amir Miftakhov was assigned to the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL.

On October 10, 2021, the Lightning placed Alex Barre-Boulet, Fredrik Claesson and Andrej Sustr on waivers for the purpose of assigning them to the Syracuse Crunch.

On October 11, 2021, the Lightning announced the re-signing of head coach Jon Cooper to a 3-year contract extension. The contract terms were not released, however, they are believed to be in the same ballpark as Joel Quenneville ($5.5 million per year).

Regular season

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. 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.
