-In case you missed it, the Tampa Bay Lightning have claimed the NHL’s Presidents’ Trophy. They are now the second-fastest team in NHL history to claim the coveted seasonal milestone. The Lightning may have made a splash in a big way this season, but they’ve actually gotten here through a series of smaller, consistent waves.
Ironically, one of big reasons why the Lightning have been able to produce this historic regular season is that the team doesn’t seem overly concerned about the historic nature of this regular season. In other words, Lightning players and coaches have been consistent in stating that they haven’t focused on regular season records, point totals or milestones.
