Prior to their game against the Florida Panthers, the Tampa Bay Lightning recalled forward Alex Barre-Boulet from the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL and placed him on the taxi squad. With six seven players already in COVID protocol, the Lightning need to make sure that they have players available should any more positive tests or injuries arise during their upcoming stretch of three games in four days.
After being re-acquired off of waivers from the Seattle Kraken earlier this season, Barre-Boulet posted 5 points (3 goals, 2 assists) in 14 games with the Bolts.
