No. 22: Tampa Bay Lightning

Previous: No. 28

Record: 22-22-6 (50 points)

Besides beating the Blackhawks (what is it with the Hawks playing bad against bad teams?), the Lightning have lost four out of their last five games. Not exactly a recipe for success. As of right now, they’ve won as many games as they’ve lost, and managed six overtime wins. They seem to be stuck in mediocrity.
