Boston Bruins: Are the Tampa Bay Lightning still the biggest Atlantic threat?

The Boston Bruins are at the top of the Atlantic Division right now. In fact, they’ve been the best team in the division pretty much all year.

Given their roster, we all expected the Bruins to occupy a top position in the division. However, take a look underneath and you’ll see a number of surprises.

The biggest surprise in the Atlantic is that the Tampa Bay Lightning are only in sixth place. Tampa is behind Buffalo, Florida, Montreal, and Toronto.

The Lightning enjoyed a record season last year. They finished first in the Atlantic with a whopping 128 points, 21 points ahead of second-place Boston.
