The numbers tell the story for the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2018-19: The wins and points in the standings that place them in the conversation for best regular-season team in the history of the National Hockey League. The offensive team statistics that reveal them to be a juggernaut. The individual accomplishments of their top players that will net them some hardware at the NHL Awards this summer.

But perhaps the most stunning number related to the Lightning's accomplishments? That would $79.5 million. That's the upper limit of the salary cap, and Tampa Bay's payroll was meticulously constructed to be underneath it over the past few seasons.

Keep that in mind while examining these facts and figures about the 2018-19 Presidents' Trophy winner. Other dominant regular-season teams in NHL history -- the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings, the 1976-77 Montreal Canadiens -- had no such constraints. What the Lightning have done over the past several months, then, is unprecedented.

The standings

With 62 wins, the Tampa Bay Lightning tied the 1995-96 Red Wings for the most by a team in the regular season in NHL history.

Their 30 road wins are second all-time in the NHL, behind the 2005-06 Detroit Red Wings (31).

With a points percentage of .780, the Lightning have the second-highest rate in NHL history for an 82-game season behind the 1995-95 Detroit Red Wings (.799). It's the fifth-best in NHL history for a team with at least 80 games played.

Tampa Bay is only the second team in NHL history to post four different winning streaks of seven games or more in a single season. The other team? The 1983-84 Wayne Gretzky-led Edmonton Oilers.

Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy has a career high in save percentage (.925) and goals-against average (2.40) this season in 53 games. He's in a near-statistical tie with Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens in goalie point shares, or the amount of points the goalie has added to his team's record, at 12.4.

In Steven Stamkos (45), Nikita Kucherov (41) and Brayden Point (41), the Lightning are the first team since the 1995-96 Pittsburgh Penguins (Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Petr Nedved) to have three 40-goal scorers.

Among the players who set new career highs in points this season in Tampa: Kucherov (128), Point (92) and Ryan McDonagh (46 points).

In Stamkos (98), Kucherov (128) and Point (92), the Lightning are the first team to have three 90-point scorers since the 2005-06 season.

Kucherov's 128 points shattered the franchise record, previously set by Vincent Lecavalier (108 points) in 2006-07. Kucherov's total is the best of any player in the past 20 years.

Stamkos (393 goals) passed Lecavalier (383) this season for most goals by Lightning player in their career in Tampa. Lecavalier needed 1,037 games; Stamkos did it in 746.

Kucherov was the first player in 20 years to hit 120 points in just 75 games and just the fifth player since 1993-94 to do so.

Kucherov is averaging 3.3 points per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 play, the highest average since 2012.

Kucherov leads the NHL in point shares with 14.3.
