Tonight marks the 400th consecutive #GoBolts sellout at @AmalieArena, a run that dates back to March 26, 2015. A phenomenal run. Tampa Bay brings it every home game, and I’m sure tonight will be no different in a big game against the Senators.

Can confirm this puts the @TBLightning organization atop the NHL. The #GoBolts and @SyracuseCrunch have the longest active streak of both NHL & AHL teams making the playoffs. TBL takes the top spot from Boston. Another great achievement for the Lightning org.

With his goal tonight, @TBLightning forward Nikita Kucherov just became only the 14th player in NHL history to record three or more 120-point seasons. Top three are Gretzky (14), Lemieux (8) and Esposito/Dionne (6). McDavid (3) is the only other active player to do it. #GoBolts
