The Lightning will have Nate Thompson and Pierre-Cedric Labrie back in the lineup tonight and that means there’s no room for forward J.T. Wyman. The Bolts have reassigned Wyman to the Syracuse Crunch.
Additionally, Tampa Bay has loaned Artem Sergeev to the Syracuse Crunch to get ready for next season. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound defenseman played for Val d’Or Foreurs of the QMJHL this season. In 55 regular season games, he accumulated six goals and 33 assists. In ten playoff games, he had three goals and three assists. Sergeev is not expected to play this season. (Photo/Susan Ferlita)
In other Crunch news, defensemen Evan Oberg (upper body injury) and Brendan Mikkelson (lower body injury) will be ready for the opening of the playoffs in two weeks.
Syracuse goalie Riku Helenius has returned to his native Finland for family reasons. It is not known when he will return.
