How Did the Lightning get into the 2022 Stanley Cup Final?





The Tampa Bay Lightning finished the 2021-22 NHL regular season with the third-best record in the Atlantic Division, pitting them in a first-round playoff showdown against division rivals the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Bolts needed the full-seven game distance to eliminate the Leafs before shockingly sweeping the team with the best record from the regular season in the Florida Panthers in the following round.

Tampa Bay lost its first two games of the Eastern Conference Final against the New York Rangers before winning four straight over the Rangers to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. After an up-and-down postseason thus far and a relatively weaker regular-season performance compared to their last two title-winning campaigns, the Lightning are currently (+156) underdogs to win the 2022 Stanley Cup Final and fulfill their quest for a rare three-peat.
