Here’s some Tampa Bay Lightning goalie system news. Yesterday must’ve been an interesting day at the War Memorial. The Syracuse Crunch had goaltender Connor Ingram up for a hot second after news emerged that Martin Ouellette needed surgery for his fractured tibia and fibula. Then, after Ingram flew to Syracuse, he met briefly with Julian BriseBoise. Immediately after the meeting, Ingram was sent back to the Orlando Solar Bears, and a press release hit our mailbox saying that Northern Michigan University’s Atte Tolvanen was signed to an AHL contract.
First, the good news, Martin Ouellette’s surgery was successful, although he’ll likely remain out for the rest of the season and an undetermined amount of time after that.
