Then, this past Thursday, I got the chance to watch Kucherov and the Tampa Bay Lightning absolutely dominate
With the Olympic break coming to an end this Wednesday, NHL hockey will return for the stretch run of the season, with each team having roughly 26 to 28 games remaining on their schedule. With that in mind, I wanted to make a few predictions for not the remainder of the regular season, but also for how the playoff race could shake out over the next few months.
