The Tampa Bay Lightning had one of the worst penalty kills in the entire league last season. Their poor performance perpetuated in the playoffs and it became such a problem that the Lightning fired Rick Bowness, the man who headed the PK.

Aside from winning the Stanley Cup, the biggest thing I want to see from the Tampa Bay Lightning is rectifying a poor penalty kill. It was a sour topic for the coaching staff and players to discuss at times last season, but the numbers don’t lie—the Lightning penalty kill finished the regular season 28th out of 31 teams at 76.
