With 28 games in the books, the Tampa Bay Lightning have officially completed half of their 2020-21 season. If we take a moment to step back and see how they’re doing, it appears things are moving along quite smoothly. With 42 points the team has matched the best start in franchise history (2017-18). They have enough points to sit atop the Central Division (albeit tied with the Florida Panthers).
In fact, the only down part of the season is that despite their solid play both on the road and at home, they haven’t been able to open up any type of lead in the division.
