The Tampa Bay Lightning exceeded everyone’s expectations when they kicked off their 25th Anniversary Season with a 5-3 victory over their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers. Unfortunately, the Lightning didn’t have any time to celebrate their victory.
Tonight, the Lightning made their way to the BB&T Center in Sunrise to do it all over again with their not-so-friendly neighborhood Panthers. The question on top of everyone’s minds is whether or not the Lightning would be able to spoil the Panthers’ Home Opener with another notch in the win column.
It was pretty apparent the Lightning came into Sunrise tonight ready to put a damper on the Panthers’ Opening Night celebration.
