Tampa Bay Lightning training camp begins

The only motivation the Lightning need as they head into training camp is last season’s game 6 loss to the Avalanche fresh in their minds.

TAMPA, Fla. - It's about to get electric inside Amalie Arena.

Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning will face the Philadelphia Flyers in the team's home opener for this season. 

The Bolts are off to a rocky start – lost two of three games. However, that's not the case for Steven Stamkos, who has scored four goals in three games. Dating back to last season, the captain had a point in 12 straight games.

The team is also trying to find its footing defensively. They've given up 11 goals to start the season.
