1. November 25th vs. St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues one meeting in Tampa comes on Black Friday as the Lightning and Blues will be featured as part of the NHL’s “Thanksgiving Showdown”.
This will be a cool opportunity to play in one of the bigger showcased days of the NHL season. In past years, games featured on the “Thanksgiving Showdown” predominantly included original six franchises like New York and Boston.
Another benefit of continued success is a driving demand to be featured on national television and the Lightning and Blues will be a headline game to kick off the holiday weekend.
