The Tampa Bay Lightning have released their 2015-16 63- man training camp roster.
Training Camp opens on Thursday at Amalie Arena with medical and physical testing. The roster features 36 forwards, 20 defensemen and seven goaltenders.
Via the team:
The Lightning’s training camp roster features the same familiar faces that brought the team to the Stanley Cup Final last season, including Steven Stamkos, Ben Bishop, Anton Stralman, Victor Hedman, Alex Killorn and the Triplets – Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov – to name a few. Included is Tampa Bay’s free agent signing from the summer, Erik Condra, who joins the team from the Ottawa Senators.
The Bolts roster features five invitees, including forward Ryan Martindale, defensemen Charlie Dodero and Kevin Gibson, as well as goaltenders Ray Emery and Philippe Cadorette. The roster also includes the 23 prospects currently participating in the 2015 Lightning Prospect Tournament in Estero, FL.
