Photo gallery: Fan Appreciation Night with the Bolts

During Sunday's season-ending 4-2 victory against the Buffalo Sabres, the Lightning hosted Fan Appreciation Night at AMALIE Arena to give back and show gratitude to the Bolts faithful for being the thunder all year long.
Highlighting the special festivities throughout the night, the team greeted fans lined up along a special blue carpet before the contest and 20 lucky fans in attendance had the chance to to receive a jersey on the ice immediately following the game from a Lightning player by entering to win using #ProudToBeTheThunder and tweeting their photos and reasons for being a fan presented by Chase. Lightning players took their jerseys right off their backs after the game and presented them to those selected.
