The Lightning start off the season with a strong month – a review of October

Related Topics: Tampa Bay Lightning

We’ve made it through the first month of the hockey season, well partial month, and it’s been an interesting ride. It started with the Tampa Bay Lightning spending a little more time in Carolina than they expected thanks to the back-to-back storms that ripped through the area, and ended in Colorado as they set out on their first mid-west trip of the season. There have been some good times, some not-so-good times, and one really emotional return. Overall, it was a strong start, but there is still some work to be done.

The Bolts finished the month 7-3-0 and their 14 points puts them fifth in the NHL and second in the Atlantic, one point behind the Florida Panthers (although with a better winning percentage) and three points ahead of the Maple Leafs.
