On Saturday night, before the game against the Nashville Predators, the Tampa Bay Lightning finally raised the 2019-20 Stanley Cup Champions banner in front of 3800 fans in Amalie Arena. It was the first game in 12 months with a crowd at Amalie Arena since the balance of the 2019-20 regular season was cancelled. Initially the Lightning unveiled the banner on opening night of the current regular season, but decided to raise it when the fans could see it live.
For this special occasion, the Lightning invited their former play-by-play announcer Rick Peckham, who retired after serving 24 years with the Lightning, to host the banner raising ceremony.
