The Tampa Bay Lightning were successful in their first contest of the season as they defeated the Florida Panthers 5-2 on Thursday night in the Lightning’s Home Opener. Unfortunately, there is no rest for the wicked and the Lightning were back at it again tonight. Same opponent, different venue.
The Lightning took the long trek down I-75 to the BB&T Center in Sunrise to kick off their back-to-back weekend series with yet another battle against their in-state rivals. The question at hand was would the Bolts be as successful in the second contest of the season as they were in the first?
