Welcome to the 2024-25 NHL hockey season, everyone. That off-season was just way too long. Hopefully, with a little more success, and a deeper run in the playoffs, next summer won’t drag on quite as much. After a couple of first-round exits, the Tampa Bay Lightning are hoping they’ve found the correct combination for getting back into serious Stanley Cup contention. Lucky for us, the solution to their problems is relatively simple – keep the puck out of the net.
We know this may shock you, but as those goals allowed numbers increased, the Lightning’s success in the postseason has decreased.
