The last time we saw the puck being dropped in the NHL came from the NHL Bubble in Canada this past October where the Tampa Bay Lightning would wash away a shocking end to a historically great 2019 season with a Stanley Cup Finals victory over the Dallas Stars to give the Lightning their second Stanley Cup crown in franchise history.
