Tampa Bay Lightning History
The Tampa Bay Lightning joined the league as an expansion team (along with the Ottawa Senators) in 1992, and earned their first berth in the Playoffs in the 1995-1996 season. The Bolts began to achieve consistent success in 2002-2003; the key ingredient was 1998 first-round draft pick Vincent Lecavalier, a center who went on to play 14 seasons for the Lightning and set almost every team scoring record.
After making the second round in the 2002-2003 Playoffs, the Bolts rocketed to the Stanley Cup Final(Opens in new tab) the following season behind the league's scoring leader, Martin St. Louis, the goaltending of Nikolai Khabibulin, and the efforts of Lecavalier, Brad Richards, Fredrik Modin, Ruslan Fedotenko, Cory Stillman, and captain Dave Andreychuk. The Lightning defeated the Calgary Flames in a Stanley Cup Final that included four games decided by one goal, two of which came in overtime. Fedotenko scored both goals in the clinching 2-1 victory in Game 7.
The Lightning flirted with Playoff success the next two seasons, but struggled for three years after that. After bringing in Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman as general manager, the team returned to the Playoffs in 2010-2011, 2013-2014, and again the following season, when the Bolts — boasting the highest-scoring offense in the league — won 50 games, and the Eastern Conference title. They dispatched the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, and New York Rangers in a hard-fought series en route to the Stanley Cup Final, where they ultimately lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games.
Powered by the scoring of Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos, the Lightning contended again in 2015-2016, only to be turned away in the conference finals by the eventual winner of the Stanley Cup Championship, the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Lightning subsequently went on to win back-to-back titles, taking home the Stanley Cup Championship in 2020 and 2021, becoming the first-ever team to win two Stanley Cup Championships within one year. The Lightning appeared in the championship again in 2022, but lost to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 6.

Venue area was great lots of space but very limited on food choices and you could not see the Game on the big screen till it got darker. Over all my family and I would do the watch party again in the future.
Great night and great experience, I recommend this app to everyone
This is the most exciting thing in Tampa, I love all the excitement and the support.
My family truly loves every Lightning game, everything is always clean and the atmosphere is spectacular, it's a great place to be with your kids!!!
The Arena was great the staff were friendly. They were very helpful . The parking is a problem it cost 40$ to park to 4:00pm then another 40 to park to after the game. That is absolutely asinine. I am not sure about other places down there. Parking was a problem.
So easy and convenient. I would definitely use it again.
Great experience. Very easy to purchase tickets and load them to Apple wallet!!!
Was an incredible experience will definitely go again 👍
I had a blast at the Bolts game. Everything was smooth.. from purchasing the tickets, to the awesome staff at the Arena… it was just an amazing event over all 🫡
Amalie arena is the best arena we have been at for a hockey game. Great food choices. Very clean and bright environment. Well behaved fans. Easy to get around.
