The Tampa Bay Lightning kicked off their road trip on a definite high note as they defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 last night at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus. Tonight, the Lightning have a new challenge in front of them. Tonight, the Bolts travel to the Air Canada Centre to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
While every game on the schedule is important, this one holds a particular importance for both the players and the fans here in the Bolts Nation. If you have watched even one Tampa Bay Lightning game this season or been on a social media site like Facebook or Twitter, you have most certainly heard all manner of rumors about Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos and him allegedly leaving the Bolts after this season.
