RETURN TO FORM? | Did Nikita Kucherov and the Lightning Finally Break the Slump?

The Tampa Bay Lightning finally looked like the team we watched prior to the Olympic break in a 6-2 over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night. Is this the win that will reignite a Tampa team that has impressed throughout most of the season? The Lightning need to regain momentum now more than ever, and with a road stretch on deck for the week, this win could not have come at a better time. Nikita Kucherov logged 5 points in last night’s game, including a hat trick, and Brandon Hagel notched 4 points alongside him. This was a game full of superstar talent at its best, and the Lightning’s top players connected several times for some gorgeous goals. This was a key night for Hagel, who has not looked quite as strong since returning from break. Nick and Greg break down the details from last night’s game, examine the recent performances from the top Bolts, and peek ahead at the road ahead for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
