We really wish there was an in-depth explanation as to why the Tampa Bay Lightning struggled to find wins in the month of January. Yes, there were some influences, mostly travel, that affected them, but it really boils down to one thing – they forgot how to score goals.
When you take a deeper look at their underlying numbers, they did a lot of really good things, but unfortunately, the most important part is to put the puck into the net, and that’s what they failed to do for the majority of their busiest month on the calendar.
