It looks like the NHL All-Star Game could be returning to Tampa Bay for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The Lightning is in line to host the 2018 All-Star Game, which would take place at Amalie Arena. Yahoo Sports reported Tampa is expected to be the site, but the Tampa Bay Times has been told that it's not a done deal yet. Neither the team, nor the league, has commented. Tampa last hosted the All-Star Game in 1999.
A few NHL representatives visited Tampa last month as part of a multi-city scouting tour for ptoential sites for the All-Star Game, draft and outdoor games.
