      Tampa Bay Lightning fans cheered Mikhail Sergachev in his return to Amalie Arena.

      In his first appearance back where he helped lead the franchise to back-to-back Stanley Cup championships, Sergachev, now with Utah Hockey Club, got a rousing ovation from fans in attendance on Thursday.

      The Lightning played a nice tribute video to Sergachev complete with highlights from the team's championships.

      Sergachev played 541 games over seven seasons for the Lightning before being dealt to Utah this past summer.
