The Tampa Bay Lightning started off the 2016-17 season on tremendous fashion. The Lightning went 6-4-0 in the first 10 games of the season leading many Bolts fans to believe this could be the year the Lightning escalate their game and make a return to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the injuries started to set in and some of the weaker points in the Lightning’s game started to glow like a lightning bug in the heart of the bayou. The Lightning went from being a veritable force in the Atlantic Division to being two points shy of the Boston Bruins for third place in the Division.
