It was announced on Thursday that the Tampa Bay Lightning signed forward Wojciech Stachowiak to a one-year, entry-level contract. Stachowiak just recently represented Team Germany at the 2025 IIHF Men’s World Championship, where he led the team with three goals.
The 25-year old skated in 52 games in Germany this season with the DEL’s ERC Ingolstadt, tallying 10 goals and 30 points along with a plus-15 rating. When the playoffs rolled around, Stachowiak appeared in all 12 games, notching six goals and 11 points—good enough to finish tied for the team lead in postseason scoring.
Stachowiak skated 38 games with the USHL’s Central Illinois Flying Aces in 2017-18, recording nine goals and 19 points, before joining Michigan State University where he played 40 career games.
