The Tampa Bay Lightning are having one of the best seasons in NHL history. By now, most hockey fans are aware of that. The Bolts are currently chasing the all-time wins record of 62 set by the Detroit Red Wings in 1995-1996. If they can win three of their final five games, they’ll tie the record. And they’ll break it if they win four.
The Lightning have Nikita Kucherov, who has scored 121 points to become the first player to break 120 points since Sidney Crosby in 2006-2007. Kucherov is chasing the salary cap era record for scoring at 125 points set by Joe Thornton in 2005-2006.
