After completing a two month long journey to the Stanley Cup Finals, the Tampa Bay Lightning are ready to start looking ahead to their next challenge on the quest to bringing another championship back to Hockey Bay.

Keeping that in mind, the Bolts followed suit with the rest of the NHL and released their upcoming 2015-16′ regular season schedule approximately two months ago.

This season’s schedule is chock full of games you won’t want to miss. You can watch the Eastern Conference Championship banner be raised to the rafters for the first time since October of 2005, do battle with Brad Richards and the hungry Detroit Red Wings or even get another crack at those annoyingly good (some may even say great) Chicago Blackhawks.

With young superstars taking over the game, it will also be interesting to receive a close-up of Jack Eichel and the new-look Buffalo Sabres. Could they pose a legitimate threat to the Lightning’s chances of not only winning the Atlantic Division but potentially repeating as Eastern Conference champions?

No matter what, this season is shaping up to be something special, featuring plenty of games for both die-hard Lightning fans and those who enjoy taking a more analytical view of how the team’s performing.

In this slideshow, I’ll be giving you the Top 5 Tampa Bay Lightning games you won’t want to miss. Keep in mind this is solely my opinion, and you do not have to agree. If you don’t, or have a game you’d like to add, please feel free to leave that in the comment section below.
