Brett Connolly, Richard Panik, Andrej Sustr and Vladislav Namestnikov have made the team, although Namestnikov may be sent down once Drouin can play.
The roster is at 24 with the Bolts brass trying to decide if Jonathan Drouin or Brenden Morrow will be placed on IR and sent to Syracuse on a rehab stint no longer than two weeks.
The Bolts have until 5:00 PM tomorrow to trim the roster down by one more.
Update: GM Steve Yzerman stated that Drouin will not be placed on IR. Sustr and Namestnikov could still be sent down without having to clear waivers.
Update: Veteran left wing Brenden Morrow (back spasms) will be put on injured reserve, retroactive to Thursday, which will get the Lightning down to 23 players by Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline. If Morrow, who missed the last three preseason games but has been skating the past three practices, is ready to go Thursday, another move will have to be made.
