The 2018-2019 Tampa Bay Lightning are ridiculous and despite not playing their best these past ten games or so (more about that below), they are just one victory away from matching a historic high-water mark set by the Detroit Red Wings of 1995-1996, of 62 games. The last game of the season will be in Boston on Saturday, and while I hope for a record-matching victory, I also simply hope that everyone gets out of there with no injuries at all going into playoffs.
But before we count any chickens, it’s time to pause and celebrate.
