Tampa Bay was 62-16-4, tying the record for most victories in an 82-game season.
Towering Victor Hedman is one year removed from being the league’s top defenceman. Superstar Steven Stamkos can still dominate. Undersized centre Brayden Point, an offensive dynamo who plays with Kucherov and Stamkos, played junior for the Moose Jaw Warriors.
Want more local flavour? Veteran defenceman Braydon Coburn is a friend of the Green Zone, having called our show last month to talk about the Lightning’s unprecedented season. Hopefully he’ll call again after Tampa wins the Stanley Cup in June.
