DETROIT – The Tampa Bay Lightning have been atop the NHL for the majority of this season, running away with the Presidents' Trophy long before the season will end.
The Lightning boast a 59-15-4 record, just three wins shy of the league's regular season wins record of 62. The Detroit Red Wings set that record back in 1995-96 when they went 62-13-7 for a total 131 points. Sergei Fedorov led Detroit with 39 goals and 107 points -- he won the Selke Trophy that season.
