The Tampa Bay Lightning have once again found themselves putting together another deep playoff run.
With three Eastern Conference Finals appearances in the last four years, the Lightning have continued to stake their claim as a perennial contender in the NHL. They are the favorites to reach the Stanley Cup Final once again, even as they dig their way out of a 2-0 series hole against the Washington Capitals.
Success has been a constant for this organization. All in a non-traditional hockey market. Still, Amalie Arena is full of Lightning fans and the sport has grown in the Bay Area.
