The Lightning placed player Luke Witkowski on waivers for the purpose of assignment to Syracuse. Witkowski played 12 games for the Lightning, mostly on the fourth line, and recorded one goal and two assists. [Raw Charge]
This move shouldn’t be much of a surprise. While Witkowski did bring some nice flexibility to the roster by being able to play forward and defense, he was not exactly getting the job done on the ice. While he has recorded a goal and two assists, he has been near or at the bottom of the possession statistics for the whole season among the entirety of the Lightning roster. He has also been at the bottom in terms of TOI per game at 8:48.
Kevin Shattenkirk has named player of the month by the Lightning fans.
The votes are in!
Our first @tghcares Player of the Month is Kevin Shattenkirk for October. 🔥

Daniel Walcott talked about his condition after scoring a goal against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Friday night.
“Last year when I came back, I was really tired. Now, I got a chance to skate a lot with the team throughout training camp and I feel real good. Right now, I’m healthy and good to go.”

A story about Luke Beamish’s retirement from hockey due to concussions.
