Tomorrow night, the Tampa Bay Lightning will charge into the Amalie Arena in order to do battle with captain Claude Giroux and the Philadelphia Flyers in the Tampa Bay Lightning Home Opener. Unlike last season, the Tampa Bay Lightning will be heading into tomorrow night’s encounter with at least one of their alternate captains in place.
According to Tampa Bay Times Staff Writer Joe Smith, Lightning Head Coach Jon Cooper announced that Lightning right wing Ryan Callahan will wear an “A” on his jersey this season as he has been named a permanent alternate captain for the Lightning’s 2015-16 season.
