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 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.

    A great experience

    by Abar on 2020-02-19Amalie Arena - Tampa

    The Bolts know how to throw a party! Being from Calgary we are not used to the added entertainment at our games. Thunder Alley was a fun spot to start the night. The rink has lots of concessions and enough bathrooms for all! Not used to those features.

    Perfect venue!

    by Hockeynight on 2018-09-30Amway Center - Orlando

    I don’t think there was a bad seat in the building. Entertainment during game was awesome! Easy to navigate around the venue. Lots of parking available. Only issue was Road work in the area at this time but we arrived early so we avoided the big traffic rush.

    Seats are padded - very comfortable. Food and beer are expensive. Parking is becoming a problem. Where was the stage this year? Arena staff was very friendly and courteous.

    We were in Florida for a family vacation. We enjoyed the game, but had difficulty purchasing six tickets in a row or close to each other. We were able to but they were in the proverbial bloody nose section
