Tampa Bay Lightning:

Record: 24-24-7
Point Total: 55
Goal Differential: -9
5v5 Corsi For%: 51.2 (8th)
5v5 Team Shooting %: 7.42 (18th)
5v5 Team Save %: 91.83 (21st)
Powerplay%: 21.2 (9th)
Penalty Kill%: 80.0 (22st)

Tampa Bay is still a threat in the Atlantic Division. In terms of corsi, the Lightning are still a top team in the NHL despite some big injuries.

With the depth and skill on the squad, they could still turn their season around with better goaltending.

The return of Steven Stamkos is also a huge determinant to their playoff aspirations. The Lightning have had a tough time filling the void left from the former 50 goal scorer’s absence.

In addition, the recent injury to centerman Tyler Johnson only further damages the team’s current center situation. The Lightning will need both of them healthy as soon as possible if they want to make a run down the stretch.
