The Tampa Bay Lightning are just one win away from being back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions after their 6-3 victory in Game 3 against the Montreal Canadiens to take a 3-0 series lead.

This team is really good without a doubt but did you know some of these stats the team has been putting up on their cup runs through the playoffs!?

Check it out for yourself:

The Lightning now have 69 wins in the playoffs since their 2015 run, which is 27 (!) more than the second highest NHL team.

I'd say 9.9 playoff wins a season is pretty, pretty good…

r/hockey - Andrei Vasilevskiy is the first goaltender since World War II to record 11 straight wins against the Montreal Canadiens.

Just a reminder that the Lightning are 14-0 in games following a playoff loss dating back to the start of last year's tournament. The Canadiens need them to lose three straight.

With his 1st period goal, Victor Hedman became the first player in NHL history to record a goal in all twelve calendar months:

Tonight marks the NHL’s first-ever playoff or regular-season game scheduled in July. Who will be the first player in League history with at least one goal in 12 different calendar months? #NHLStats #StanleyCup

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
