Spokane native Tyler Johnson won his first career Stanley Cup title on Monday with the Tampa Bay Lightning against the Dallas Stars.
With a 2-0 win in Game 6, the Lightning clinched the series 4-2.
Johnson had 12 shots on goal in the series. However, he did not record a goal or assist. He finished with 18 goals and 20 assists this season, including the playoffs.
Johnson is one of the best Spokane Chiefs players of all-time. He ranks top 10 in career goals and points. He won a Memorial Cup with the team in 2008.
His best statistical season with the Chiefs came in 2010-2011, when he scored 53 goals and added 62 assists. His 115 points that season ranks seventh most for a single-season in team history.
After that, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Lightning. Johnson played in the American Hockey League for a couple of years and his rookie season with Tampa Bay came in the 2013-2014 season.
Johnson had a chance to win the Stanley Cup Final in the 2014-2015 season, but the Lightning lost to the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2.
