Record-Breaking Lightning: Four Players in the 30-Goal Club

The Tampa Bay Lightning are on the verge of making history once again as they close in on having four players reach the 30-goal mark in a single season. Nikita Kucherov’s recent goal puts him just one away from joining Jake Guentzel, Brayden Point, and Brandon Hagel in the exclusive club. If Anthony Cirelli or Nick Paul can catch fire, they could potentially set a new record with five 30-goal scorers.

The Lightning’s offensive prowess has been on full display this season, with their 3.51 goals per game tied for third all-time in franchise history. What sets this season apart is their improved defense, allowing just 2.64 goals against per game compared to 3.26 last year.

In their recent game against the Flyers, Andrei Vasilevskiy recorded a shutout to help the Lightning gain two points and keep pace with the Maple Leafs in the standings. The team’s big guns, Kucherov and Guentzel, made their presence felt on the scoresheet, contributing to the victory.

As the Lightning continue their quest for another Stanley Cup, the possibility of setting a new record for 30-goal scorers adds another exciting element to their season. With strong performances on both ends of the ice, the Lightning are proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the NHL.
