At the trade deadline, the Lightning acquired forwards Brandon Hagel and Nick Paul. They also opted to re-sign forwards Brayden Point and Ross Colton and defenceman Cal Foote with Patrick Maroon re-signing during the season.

Stanley cups series#
The Lightning joined the Montreal Canadiens (1976–1980) and New York Islanders (1980–1984) for becoming the only teams in league history to post at least eleven consecutive playoff series victories. They were the first team to clinch three consecutive Finals appearances since the 1983–1985 Edmonton Oilers. They won the prior ( 2020, 2021) two Stanley Cups and have won three in franchise history. This was Tampa Bay's third consecutive Finals appearance and fifth overall.

When NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman tested positive for COVID-19, NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly took over the presentation of the Conn Smythe Trophy and the Stanley Cup. The Finals were still pushed from the usual start date in late May for the third consecutive year, this time due to a scheduled break in the regular season that coincided with the league's planned participation in the 2022 Winter Olympics, though the league's players ultimately did not participate in the Olympics. With the Government of Canada allowing cross-border travel for fully vaccinated players and team personnel between Canada and the United States, the league was able to return to its usual two conference alignment and reinstate its standard playoff format that was used from 2014– 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. The series began on June 15, and concluded on June 26. Colorado had home ice advantage in the series with the better regular season record. The Avalanche won the best-of-seven series, four games to two, for their third championship in franchise history. The series was between the Eastern Conference and two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning and the Western Conference champion Colorado Avalanche. The 2022 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 2021–22 season and the culmination of the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs.
