Lightning Recall Declan Carlile, Steven Santini as Blue Line Thins

Overview

• The Lightning called up defensemen Declan Carlile and Steven Santini from AHL Syracuse for depth against New Jersey.
• Tampa Bay placed Max Crozier on injured reserve and activated Dominic James, per team and beat reports.
• Coaches left usage open, with one of the recalls expected to be available to dress but no guarantee either will play.
• Ryan McDonagh remains out after a Nov. 8 shot block, while Victor Hedman practiced following two missed games and Erik Cernak took the optional skate.
• The moves pull two key Crunch blueliners — captain Steven Santini and leading scorer Declan Carlile — off Syracuse’s roster on the eve of a game in Laval.
