While the Tampa Bay Lightning’s training camp has been going on for a bit now, the Syracuse Crunch has yet to get started. Up until today, there weren’t even any players assigned to the Lightning’s top AHL affiliate, but that’s all changed with the assignment of six players. Two more will likely also be joining the Crunch thanks to their AHL deals.
The Lightning assigned forwards Alex Gallant and Carter Verhaeghe, defensemen Mat Bodie and Matt Spencer, and goaltenders Connor Ingram and Michael Leighton to the Crunch.
