TAMPA, Fla. (AP) β€” Three consecutive trips to the Stanley Cup Final, two championships and a strong β€” though ultimately unsuccessful β€” bid for a third.

Losing to the Colorado Avalanche in six games was disappointing, however the talented core that’s enjoyed more playoff success than any other team over the past decade remains intact and expects the Lightning to be a contender again next season.
