They likely shouldn't be. 5 points is a long ways out at this point. In the last 17 or 18 games they need to then win 3 more times than the 8th place team.
If that 8th place team goes, say, 10-8 the Lightning need to be 13-4 which is a heck of a pace. They as well need to pass 6 teams in the process.
Unless something truly unusual happens they are done this season.
