TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Lightning will start the 2019-20 season Oct. 3 in their Amalie Arena home, but the season will also see them play as far away as Sweden.

The team released the 82-game schedule Tuesday. 

Among the highlights:

  • The Oct. 3 season home opener will be against the Florida Panthers, but the next six games will be on the road. 
  • The Bolts will take on the Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues twice. The games will be nine days apart: Nov. 19 at St. Louis and Nov. 29 in Tampa.
  • They won't take on Columbus Blue Jackets, the team that swept them in the 2019 playoffs, until Feb. 10, 2020.
  • The Lightning will play the Buffalo Sabres Nov. 8 and 9 in Stockholm, Sweden.
