2024 Tampa Bay Lightning Preseason Schedule

Author Geno
Tampa Bay Lightning fan waves a flag from the stands during the third period against the Colorado Avalanche in Game Four of the 2022 NHL Stanley Cup Final at Amalie Arena on June 22, 2022 in Tampa, Florida.

Hockey is over for now. Sad face. But the Tampa Bay Lightning preseason schedule is out today. So that softens the blow a little bit.

Last night, the Stanley Cup was lifted in Florida. Only problem was it wasn’t at Amalie Arena. The Tampa Bay Lighting unfortunately made an early exit from the NHL playoffs this year. Instead our neighbors to the south won their first Stanley Cup. The Florida Panthers blew a 3 games to none lead in their series with the Edmonton Oilers. But they bounced back when they had to in Game 7.

Miss hockey already? The Panthers lifted the Stanley Cup last night so hockey is over for now. But a sign of life... the Tampa Bay Lightning Preseason schedule is now out.

Sergei Bobrovsky #72 and the Florida Panthers celebrate the Stanley Cup win following a 2-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Game Seven of the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup Final at Amerant Bank Arena on June 24, 2024 in Sunrise, Florida.

So sadly, there will be no boat parade for the Tampa Bay Lightning this summer.
