Tampa Bay Lightning history
Tampa Bay was granted an NHL expansion team on December 6, 1990, and the Lightning started play in the 1992 season. Fans call them the Bolts. They are one of two Florida teams in the league, along with the Panthers, and home games are downtown at Benchmark International Arena, which seats 19,092.
The Lightning won the Stanley Cup in 2004, then again in 2020 and 2021. They also reached the Final in 2015 and 2022. That long run of success led some outlets to call the team a modern dynasty. In the 2018 season the club tied the then all-time record with 62 regular season wins and took the 2019 Presidents' Trophy.
