The Tampa Bay Lightning have played thirty games this season. That means more than a third of the season is complete. It also means that we’re due for another ten game report. The first two times we did these reports, the results weren’t great. But lately, the Lightning have been trending back in the right direction even if they haven’t always been rewarded for it on the scoreboard.
As of today, the Lightning are fourth in the Atlantic Division and still technically outside of the playoffs. But they’re just three points behind the second place Buffalo Sabres with three games in hand.
