CBJ vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

This NHL regular-season clash between the Columbus Blue Jackets and Tampa Bay Lightning carries echoes of one of hockey's most stunning upsets. In 2019, the Blue Jackets, as the eighth seed, swept the Presidents' Trophy-winning Lightning in four games, marking the first time a top seed was swept by an eighth seed. Since then, the Lightning have won back-to-back Stanley Cups, while the Blue Jackets have continued to build.

Fans attending this game in Columbus can expect a charged atmosphere as both teams bring their best. The arena will be alive with passionate supporters, fast-paced action, and the intensity of a rivalry with a storied past. The Blue Jackets' victory in that historic series was their first ever playoff series win, ending a long drought. The Lightning, meanwhile, have proven their resilience by winning championships in subsequent years.
