Lightning Round: The offense gets all of the headlines, but the defense has been getting the job done

When the season started for the Tampa Bay Lightning, there weren’t too many question marks on the roster, especially once they figured out the salary cap issues. Goaltending was solid. The offense was stacked and the left side of the defense boasted three potential all stars in Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh, and Mikhail Sergachev. If there was any doubt about the roster it was the right side of the defense. Through ten games they seem to have gotten by just fine.

Erik Cernak is perfectly fine. After that things seem like they should be a little dicey.
