NASHVILLE — A quarter of the season is gone; who is the 2018-19 Lightning? In short, it's a good team.
The Lightning has been at or near the top of the league throughout the first 20 games. Going into Sunday's games, the Lightning and Predators were tied at No. 1 with 29 points apiece, which should mean another good game between them in Nashville on Monday night (Fox Sports Sun; 970-AM).
Though saying that Saturday's overtime win over the Flyers was one of the Lightning's bottom five games so far, coach Jon Cooper praised his team's first 20.
