Lightning Year-End Review: Defenders

A numbers-based look at the defenders for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2015-2016 NHL season.

With the season officially over for the Lightning but the draft and free agency still several weeks in the distance, now seems the appropriate time to reflect on the past eight months and attempt to quantify the performance of each player on the roster. Over the last week or so, we posted a series of pieces highlighting some numbers for each Lightning player. This is the final piece in that series and it will focus on the defenders. The Lightning relied heavily on seven defenders throughout the season.
