At the crack of dawn on Thursday, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that the team has been selected to play in the 2019 NHL Global Series against the Buffalo Sabres. The games will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9, 2019, at the Ericsson Globe.
The last time the Lightning played in Europe was in 2008, vs. the New York Rangers in two games held in Prague, Czech Republic. They lost both games by scores of 2-1, so here’s hoping for a better outcome.
The Swede count for the Tampa Bay Lightning is currently two.
