The Lighting’s recent hot streak on the penalty kill was the topic of the day yesterday. First, we covered it here at Raw Charge.
The Lightning’s streak raises the question of whether this was a stretch of excellent penalty killing or a run of good luck.
If you ask people who follow the Lightning closely to list the team’s primary weaknesses last season, many would point to the penalty kill. In the offseason, the team did not retain the coach in charge of the penalty kill and defense, Rick Bowness.
