Get ready for the Lightning’s 2024-2025 theme nights

The Bolts are preparing for the upcoming season, with special dates already announced.

Four Lightning players smile and celebrate on the ice. Two are fist-bumping, and the crowd at Amalie Arena is visible in the background.

The countdown to the new season is on.
