Despite being eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in a 6-1 loss against the Florida Panthers on Monday, April 29th, the Lightning definitely had a good run this season. They had a total of 45 victories during the regular season and had two five-game win streaks from January to March. However, they didn't do as amazing as they had in the regular season in the playoffs. Tampa Bay won one game through the series, in Game 4 with a 6-3 final.

The Lighting won a total of three Stanley Cup championships: 2004, 2020, and 2021 seasons. They got into the 2023-24 season playoffs with a wild card, and this was the first time they made it into the playoffs without finishing in the top three of their division since 1995-96.

So, since their season was unfortunately put to an end, here is a photo gallery of their Game 4 victory in round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Good luck to the Florida Panthers, and hoping for the Lightning to have a better run in the playoffs next season!
