The Tampa Bay Lightning have, for the most part, wrapped up their abbreviated preseason schedule for the 2020-21 NHL season. After today’s off day, there is one more practice scheduled for Tuesday and then the puck drops on the season Wednesday night as they take on the hockey team from Chicago.
Expect to see a lot of names pop up on the waiver wire today as the organization trims down the roster to get under the salary cap. There are decisions being made as to which of those players that clear waivers are assigned to Syracuse and which ones stay in Tampa on the taxi squad.
