TAMPA, Fla. — An emotional night and top-line production were key to the Lightning recording another 100-point season with Saturday night’s 7-4 win over Winnipeg at Amalie Arena.
The victory marked the seventh 100-point season for Tampa Bay, the first time reaching the mark since the 2018-19 season. Five of those 100-point milestones have come since Jon Cooper took over as coach in 2013.
With the win, the Lightning hold a three-point lead, 100-97, over Boston for third place in the Atlantic Division. Tampa Bay trails Toronto (102) for second place.
