The Toronto Maple Leafs weren't the only ones going green on the weekend of St. Patrick's Day.

The NHL's points leaders, the Tampa Bay Lightning, donned green and gold themed warmups complete with shamrocks on the shoulders and nicknames on the nameplates.

And you know our equipment staff cooked up some new nameplates to match the back of every jersey!

The Pittsburgh Penguins added nice wrinkle, with Gaelic-inspired nameplates and an homage to the tri-color Irish flag inside the numbers.
