TAMPA, Fla. — If the crowd wasn't already thunderous at Amalie Arena, it's going to get a little louder.

That's an increase from the 16,300 fans allowed for Game 1 on Monday -- and it's about at capacity, the most since the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year.
Ticket prices for the game, many of which are available at Ticketmaster, at last check, start in the high $200s and push past $1,000.
The Bolts take on the Montréal Canadiens at 8 p.m.
