The Tampa Bay Lightning made major history this season. They were the first to clinch a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and they clinched the Presidents' Trophy on March 18--with nearly three weeks left in the season. After playing 82 games, the Lightning finished the season winning 62 of them--tying the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings for the most wins in a single season. Their opponents, the Columbus Blue Jackets, are another story. They were the 16th and last team to lock in a playoff spot, doing so this past Friday. The Jackets' franchise history isn't a good one; they are the least successful team in the NHL. They are the only team to have not won a playoff series, and they've won a grand total of five playoff games--having never won more than two games in a single series. Here's a fact about that 62-win Wings team: they failed to reach the Stanley Cup Final. Could that same fate befall the Lightning? Perhaps. Will they fall to the Jackets? Not likely.
Prediction: Lightning in five
#1

Blue Jackets 4, Lightning 3
Jackets come back from a 3-0 deficit to win: Seth Jones' PPG served as the GWG, as 62-win Bolts are 0-1 in the playoffs.

Blue Jackets 5, Lightning 1
Matt Duchene posts a four-point game (G, 3A); Jackets head home up 2-0 over the 62-win Lightning.

Blue Jackets 3, Lightning 1
For the first time in franchise history, the Jackets won more than two games in a playoff series and have earned the opportunity to clinch a series...against a team who won 62 games this season.

Blue Jackets 7, Lightning 3
The Columbus Blue Jackets win a playoff series for the first time in franchise history, and sweep the 62-win Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning become the first Presidents' Trophy winner to fail to win a playoff game.
