A few weeks ago, Raw Charge asked its readers how they felt about the Tampa Bay Lightning’s use of the organizational depth in net. At the time, Lightning backup Louis Domingue had played one game with Tampa, while Syracuse Crunch backup Nick Riopel had gotten in only a paltry 20 minutes with his club. The majority of the people who voted in the poll expressed the idea that both backups deserved a bit more of a chance to show what they could do.
One of those backups never got the opportunity.
News broke Wednesday night that the Lightning has traded for netminder Eddie Pasquale.
