Declan Carlile - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Heads to AHL Carlile was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Carlile was summoned from the minors Tuesday, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for the Lightning's 5-3 victory over Columbus because Victor Hedman (lower body) was able to play. Carlile might still be recalled before Thursday's tilt against St. Louis -- Tampa Bay has just six healthy defensemen on its roster after sending him down.

Promoted from minors Carlile was elevated from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact With J.J. Moser (undisclosed) on injured reserve and Victor Hedman (lower body) still questionable, the Bolts could be forced to utilize Carlile against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. In his previous appearance for Tampa this season, the 24-year-old Carlile scored a goal on one shot despite just 11:10 of ice time versus the Kraken on Dec. 14. If he does play Tuesday, Carlile figures to slot into a third-pairing role while Darren Raddysh or Emil Lilleberg could see more minutes.

Assigned to AHL Carlile was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Carlile made his NHL season debut in Saturday's 5-1 win over Seattle, scoring a goal and blocking two shots in 11:10 of playing time. The Lightning also sent Steven Santini to the minors, which could bode well for the availability of Victor Hedman (lower body) ahead of Tuesday's game versus Columbus. However, the demotions may be for salary cap purposes.

Scores first NHL goal Carlile scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Impact Carlile netted his first NHL goal at 19:38 of the third period after getting a late shift once the game was firmly in hand. The defenseman saw just 11:10 of ice time in the game while filling in for Victor Hedman (lower body). Carlile's time with the big club may be short, though it's possible he sticks around over Steve Santini once the Lightning get healthier on defense.
