WTF Fubo????

I live in Central Florida and am a Tampa Bay Lightning fan.This year the Bolts (nickname) dropped FanDuel/Sinclair as their TV broadcast partner and went with Scripps so the locals in Tampa could have TV access for free with an OTA option. Those of us who don't live in the Tampa area have to rely on TV service providers like Fubo picking up the broadcasts from a substation in the local area, Fox35+. So prior to the season, Fubo added this station (which simulcasts the local Tampa channel) s we could watch the games.

All the preseason games that were broadcast were carried without any issue. The season opener was last night and the first two periods were fine. After the start of the third period, the message in the photo popped up on my screen - WTF? I tried contacting Fubo support on X but got zero response to my direct message. As of this morning still no response. Prior to the start of the preseason I was told in the Fubo subreddit by a nice person that all the games would be picked up by Fubo. And they were up to this point. So I am trying to figure out what happened - was this a glitch that kept me from watching the last period or do I need to change providers so I can watch the games this year.

So two questions, did anyone else get this message and does anyone know if this was a temporary glitch (the network came back on the air sometime after the game ended) or has Fubo lost the rights to show the Lightning games? Getting Turner Network vibes here.

So I'd appreciate any thoughts from anyone who has any info on this situation.

Thanks in advance.
