18. Tampa Bay Lightning

Previous: No. 18

Record: 34-28-9 (77 points)

The Bolts picked a bad time to go on a mini losing streak (two games), as they need all the points they can get in a playoff race with the New York Islanders and Toronto. Dropping a 5-3 contest to Washington is respectable. Falling 5-0 at home to Toronto with this much on the line is not.
