With three games remaining in the 2023-2024 regular season, the Tampa Bay Lightning has the league-leading point scorer. Nikita Kucherov has 141 points (43 goals and 98 assists), and leads the number two spot by four points. Braydon Point leads the team in goals (45) and is seventh in the NHL. Victor Hedman leads Tampa's defensemen with 76 points on the season.

The Lightning have played in the Stanley Cup finals five times and won the Stanley Cup three times (2004, 2020 and 2021). In 2004, they beat the Calgary Flames in 7 games to win their first championship. The Lightning returned to the finals in 2014-15 against the Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago won in 6 games. In 2019-20 the Lightning beat the Dallas Stars in 6 games. In 2020-21, Tampa Bay beat Montreal in 5 games. The Lightning were the last team to win consecutive championships. Then in 2021-22, in an attempt for a "three-peat," the Lightning lost to the Colorado Avalanche in 6 games.

The first two games in the Tampa Bay Lightning's quest for another Stanley Cup will be in Toronto. That's an awful long drive so if you want to be around fellow Bolts fans, here are some great spots all over the Tampa area to catch the games where it'll get loud and rowdy.

The team's official watch parties that have been announced so far are both at Sparkman Wharf. There will be live entertainment, playoff swag, giveaways, autographed prizes, concession specials, Thunderbug and more. The watch parties will begin one hour before game time and are free to the public. While that's cool, maybe you want to stay closer to home. So here are our favorite spots to catch Lightning games.

Head to Dave & Buster's near the Westfield Brandon Mall. Lots of big screens and lots of parking. Try the soft pretzels with honey mustard.

Thanks to Cari Batstone McLaughlin for this tip. She loves Norton's Sports Bar because they make special Lightning shots for her.

Head to Shaker & Peel. It's definitely American style Mexican but the margaritas are pretty solid.

Head to Fairway Pizza & Sports Page Pub. Some buffalo shrimp sound good?  Their wings are good too.  But most come for the pizza.

Located on the water, get some Loaded Island Fries at Whiskey Joe's Bar & Grill.  They're sweet potato waffle fries topped with BBQ pulled pork.

The party's always on at Ferg's near Tropicana Field.  Sure you'll find mostly Rays games, but you'll find a few TVs showing Bolts games too.

Hattricks is the no brainer choice if you're in Tampa.  The best wings around and it's a hockey themed bar even when the game's  not on. Other good Tampa choices include Riveters, Brickhouse Tavern, The Blind Goat, and Yoeman's.

A huge beer and cocktail selection, the Irish 31 Pub House & Eatery is a great spot for a pint of Guiness and a burger.
