TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Excitement is building for tonight’s Tampa Bay Lightning game at Amalie Arena.
The Bolts will take on the Detroit Red Wings as they fight for a wildcard spot in the playoffs.
The puck drops at 7:30.
Just as exciting as tonight’s game is the possibility that Team Captain Steven Stamkos may soon return to the ice.
Stamkos skated this morning and he skated at practice yesterday.
But, the Bolts say he won’t play tonight.
Stamkos is recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus that happened in November.
Prior to Thursday night’s game against the Detroit Red Wings, the Tampa Bay Lightning, Mosaic and Feeding Tampa Bay will be holding a canned food drive on Ford Thunder Alley beginning at 5 p.m. All fans who donate three canned goods or more will receive a co-branded drawstring bag courtesy of Mosaic. Monetary donations will also be accepted as $1 provides 10 meals to those in need.
