Get those markers and calendars ready (ours is a National Park one), we have hockey to schedule for next season. The first signs of the Tampa Bay Lightning 2025-26 season have started to trickle out as the team with the release of the preseason schedule. As expected, the Bolts (well, mostly their younger players, and the ones on the roster bubble) will be taking on the usual suspects starting on September 22nd. The Carolina Hurricanes, Nashville Predators, and Florida Panthers will be their opponents for the seven preseason games. Three games will be played in Tampa, three on the road, and one at the Kia Center in Orlando.
