With their win against the Los Angeles Kings earlier this week, the Tampa Bay Lightning have hit the halfway mark of the 2021-22 NHL season. All-in-all, despite some hiccups and injuries along the way it’s been a pretty good first 41 games. They have posted a 27-9-5 record which is good for 59 points and a share of the Atlantic Division lead (okay, technically the Florida Panthers are a few percentage points ahead, but why quibble over minor details). They’re also battling the Panthers, Colorado Avalanche, and Carolina Hurricanes) for the overall lead in the league.
