See #Lighting incident for more information. Lighting incident On January 8, 2010, a lighting problem occurred in the arena during a game between the Devils and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tampa Bay was leading 3–0 with 9:12 left in the second period when half of the sports lights went out due to an interruption in power on the grid feeding electricity to the arena, followed by a failure of a computer-operated lighting system that allowed the sports lighting system to function with the circuit breakers. PSE&G and Prudential Center electricians worked on the situation for 1 hour and 52 minutes but could not reboot the system.
