TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled goaltender Matt Tomkins from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League, vice president and general manager Julien BriseBois announced today.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that goaltender Matt Tomkins has been recalled from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch.

As the 4-Nations Face-Off tournament and the resulting break loom in February, the Tampa Bay Lightning are seeking one key as January comes to a close: normalcy.

If the forward prospect can duplicate his production from AHL Syracuse, it could provide a much-needed boost for Tampa Bay.

Palat was a Glue Guy Legend during Tampa Bay’s three straight trips to the Stanley Cup—his top-line chemistry respected by teammates and foes alike. His 423 career points rank ninth in franchise history and his 147 plus/minus ranks second, just behind Victor Hedman.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled goaltender Matt Tomkins from the Syracuse Crunch, the team announced Thursday. Tomkins, a native of Edmonton, Alta., has spent the entire season with the Crunch, posting a record of 6-8-4 to go along with a 2.87 GAA and a .900 SP in 17 appearances.

The Los Angeles Kings head into the matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning after losing three games in a row.

Landon Slaggert scored the go-ahead goal in his season debut as the Chicago Blackhawks opened a three-game Eastern Conference road trip with a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.

Tomkins was recalled as Andrei Vasilevskiy (illness) will be a game-time decision versus LA on Thursday. Should Vasilevskiy be unable to go, Tomkins will back up Jonas Johansson. Tomkins was 6-8-3 with a 2.87 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 17 AHL appearances before his recall.

When Brian Bradley was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 1992 expansion draft, he really didn’t know what to expect.

Landon Slaggert’s offensive game isn’t all that nuanced. To the Chicago Blackhawks forward, scoring goals is pretty much black-and-white. Or, better yet, blue. “Just getting to the blue paint,” he said hours before he was set to make his NHL season debut Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
