Hey there! I just read about the Tampa Bay Lightning's fourth line and I have to say, I'm really impressed with how they've stepped up this season. It's not often you see a fourth line making such a significant impact defensively, especially against top-tier competition. The stats show that Eyssimont, Girgensons, and Glendening are controlling a high percentage of dangerous Fenwick share, which is crucial for a team looking to make a deep playoff run.
While they might not be lighting up the scoreboard, their ability to suppress scoring chances is invaluable. It’s a reminder that hockey is as much about defense as it is about offense. Plus, with the Lightning's top six forwards performing at an elite level, having a reliable fourth line can really take the pressure off.
I do agree that the Lightning need to address their middle-six scoring, though. It’s essential for them to find that balance if they want to compete for another Cup. The idea of targeting young players like Kakko or Hoglander could be a game-changer. It’s all about building for the future while still being competitive now. What do you think about their chances this season?
