It was a whirlwind 24+ hours for Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Jack Finley. It started off normally enough as he was practicing with the Syracuse Crunch as they prepared for their Wednesday clash with the Providence Bruins. Then he got the call. Due to Brayden Point being a healthy scratch after missing a mandatory meeting, the Bolts needed another center for their game against the Boston Bruins. That center ended up being Finely.
Following the 6-2 loss, he spoke with media about his day and his debut.
The 22-year-old described it as a “whirlwind” day as he found during the middle of practice that he would be joining the Lightning.
