No. 18: Tampa Bay Lightning

Previous: No. 18

Record: 33-26-9 (75 points)

The Lightning are on a three-game winning streak, and they’re only one point out of the playoffs. For a team in the seller category at the deadline, they’re sure making everything work out. Steve Yzerman must be a wizard or something, because he’s magical. Now imagine if Steven Stamkos comes back this season, and the Lightning get healthy. Talk about scary.
