With a 5-2 in over the Ottawa Senators on April 1, the Tampa Bay Lightning made history by becoming the third 60-win team in NHL history. The Lightning join the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens and the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings as the only teams to accomplish the feat.
Despite the astounding feat, the Lightning’s historic season means nothing without a Stanley Cup Championship. They have not made it back to the “third” season in hockey since 2015, where they lost to the Chicago Blackhawks, and have not won it all since 2004 when they topped the Calgary Flames.
