Look. We get it. The Tampa Bay Lightning aren’t exactly rolling through the competition right now. They just played four games on the road, lost three of them, and the one they won took overtime against a team currently ranked 32nd in the league. Cool. That doesn’t mean there weren’t some things to pull from the four games and build on as they kick off a home stand against that very same 32nd-ranked team (it’s Chicago).
Despite their struggles, most of the major playoff prediction polls still have the Bolts finishing with enough points to make the postseason.
