The Tampa Bay Lightning have endured more than any team’s fair share of injuries and illnesses this season. In fact, it has become almost laughable; not because the situation is in any way funny, but because it’s all Lightning fans can do to keep from crying as of late.
The Lightning has reached a pivotal time in the season. If the Bolts can’t manage to find some semblance of success over the course of their current six-game road trip, it may be time to cease looking forward towards the postseason and look towards how the team can improve next season.
