It was a pirate's life for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

The Lightning wore special pirate-themed warmup jerseys before their game against the Los Angeles Kings at Amalie Arena.
The sweater's crest featured a pirate skull with the Lightning logo in the center of the forehead and swords behind the skull. The shoulder patches displayed Tampa's logo surrounded by a boat helm.

Alex Killorn sported a boat helm chain necklace during warmups.

Tampa Bay wore the jerseys in celebration of Gasparilla, the annual local pirate festival that has been held on the last Saturday in January since 1904.
