Lightning Game Postponed Due to Hurricane Milton

The Tampa Bay Lightning's home game against the Carolina Hurricanes, originally scheduled for Saturday, has been postponed due to the devastation caused by Hurricane Milton in the Tampa Bay area. The storm reached Category 5 before hitting Florida as a Category 3, causing significant damage, including flooding and power outages, as well as tearing through the roof of Tropicana Field. No new date has been set for the game, and ticket holders are advised to contact their point of purchase for refund information. The Lightning will begin their season on the road in Carolina on Friday. This decision follows a string of disruptions caused by Hurricane Milton and the previous Hurricane Helene, which had affected the region two weeks earlier. The team's next home game is scheduled for Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks, pending any further recovery complications.
