Today is waiver day around the NHL. It was the last day that teams could put players on waivers to be able to assign them to the minor leagues prior to submitting their opening night roster tomorrow afternoon. Among those players for the Tampa Bay Lightning is forward Tyler Johnson and defenseman Luke Schenn.
Spencer Martin, Daniel Walcott, and Luke Witkowski have been placed on waivers to be assigned to the Syracuse Crunch if they clear waivers. Andreas Borgman, Chris Gibson, Gemel Smith, and Ben Thomas have been placed on waivers and will be headed to the Taxi Squad if they clear waivers.
