@RyanEvanchak Hi Ryan! Usually single game tickets go on sale in mid-August. There will be a heads up at least a few days before then announcing when exactly they’ll go live!

@BenjaminJReport Ben, do you think single game tickets will be available tomorrow for purchased once full schedule is released?

Big day for the Lightning and @SyracuseCrunch, who have extended their AHL affiliation for the next four years. Since 2012, 104 players have played for both squads. The teams hold the longest active playoff streak (8 seasons) by both an NHL team and its AHL affiliate. #GoBolts
