Overview
- Coach Jon Cooper said Max Crozier is "more than day-to-day, hopefully less than week-to-week," ruling him out for at least the next two games.
- Santini was brought up from AHL Syracuse to provide depth and is not expected to play immediately, with Darren Raddysh set to draw into the lineup.
- The Lightning used an open roster spot and available LTIR space to complete the recall without a corresponding move.
- Under waiver rules, Santini can remain on the NHL roster for up to 30 nonconsecutive days before he would need waivers to return to Syracuse.
- The 30-year-old right-shot defender has 124 NHL games and signed a two-year, two-way extension in June, while injured forwards Zemgus Girgensons and Nick Paul have skated recently without firm return dates.
