Tampa Bay has secured victories in 14 of their most recent 15 outings.
In an NHL regular season match, the Lightning defeated the Blackhawks with a score of 2-1 in a shootout.
This victory marks the third consecutive win for John Cooper’s squad, and it represents their 14th triumph across the last 15 contests (with the sole non-win during this span being a shootout loss).
A streak encompassing 15 or more consecutive games where they earned at least one point is now the third longest in franchise history (following the 18-game run in 2003/04 and the 16-game run in 2018/19).
Accumulating 68 points across 49 games places the Lightning at the summit of both the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference.
In the overall league standings, only the Western Conference leader, Colorado (with 77 points from 49 games played), ranks above them.
