Lightning prospect Harrison Meneghin and the Medicine Hat Tigers fell short on Sunday night, after losing 4-1 in the Memorial Cup Final to the London Knights.

The 20-year old goalie helped lead the Medicine Hat Tigers to their first Memorial Cup appearance since 2007. Through 16 post-season games, he recorded a 14-1 record while posting a .906 save percentage, a 2.35 goals against average and three shutouts. His efforts earned him WHL Playoff MVP honors, which made him only the third player in Tigers history to receive the award.
Meneghin finished the tournament with 4GP 2.54GAA and a .906SV%.

Edmonton Oilers take home ice to new level to open Stanley Cup Final
There is going to be a little extra home in the home ice for Connor McDavid & Co. when the puck drops on the Stanley Cup Finals against the Florida Panthers on Wednesday (8 p.m., CBC, Sportsnet). While the Edmonton Oilers hold the advantage thanks to a three-point difference in the standings, a new initiative by Rogers called This is Our Ice aims to bring a little slice of home to hockey's biggest stage. Ice samples from six rinks across the country where McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Stuart Skinner, Evander Kane, Darnell Nurse and Calvin Pickard played minor hockey have been collected and brought to Rogers Place to be added to the ice surface before the championship series gets underway. For Kane, that means there will be an essence of the Northshore Winter Club underneath his feet. 'Oh, really? Obviously, I didn't know that story,' the Oilers forward said at the podium during media day at Rogers Place on Tuesday. 'It's kind of cool.' Before Kane and the rest of the Oilers get a chance to earn Edmonton's sixth Stanley Cup, and first since 1990, there were plenty of milestones along the way to help them reach that point. And they all happened far away from the same type of spotlight that is set squarely on Rogers Place right now, even though they were no less important to their younger selves at the time. 'We had some great teams in minor hockey, won a Quebec tournament, Western Canadians, we had a lot of success in junior and won a lot at an early age,' said Kane, 33, who grew up in East Vancouver, and is playing for his sixth NHL team since being drafted fourth overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in 2009. 'I've always joked — you go through your youth hockey career and you kind of win everything — won a Memorial Cup (with his hometown Vancouver Giants in 2007), won a world junior (with Team Canada in 2009), all that type of stuff. 'And then you get to the NHL, and if you're a top pick you go to one of the worst teams in the NHL. So, it's tough to get used to losing, but to get to this point in my career, to be able to have a chance to win again is special and it's something I definitely don't take for granted.'

Meet the beagle repping Tampa Bay in the "Stanley Pup"
Thirty-two of the cutest hockey players, including one repping the Lightning, will compete during the 2025 Stanley Cup between the Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers. State of play: The "Stanley Pup," a friendly competition featuring adoptable rescue dogs, is returning for the second year. The show will premiere at 5:30pm ET June 6 on TruTV. Zoom in: Donning a Bolts jersey will be Brayden Pointer, a 9-week-old beagle mix who can smell a treat from 3.8 miles away. His name, of course, is a nod to Bolts center Brayden Point. How it works: During the 90-minute television special, the pups will play a canine version of hockey on synthetic ice. Dog-loving celebrities Jamie Lee Curtis, Nikki Glaser, Paula Abdul and Michael Bublé will appear, representing a shelter of their choice. What they're saying:"There's no need to purchase a puppy when you can open up your heart and home to give a wonderful life to a puppy that needs one," executive producer Michael Levitt tells Axios.
