TAMPA — For many NHL players, the opportunity to play in an outdoor hockey game is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And just seven members of this season’s Lightning team were among the group that played a Stadium Series game in Nashville three seasons ago.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins will play another outdoors game next season in a very interesting setting. Boston will take on the Lightning at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa as part of the NHL's Stadium Series on Feb. 1, 2026, the league announced Wednesday. Because nothing screams outdoor hockey like Tampa, Florida.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have had over a decade of proven success, now the hockey world gets to see it first hand.
