The Lightning announced that they have assigned forward Jack Finley to AHL Syracuse on a conditioning stint. The stint can last for up to two weeks but he will remain on Tampa Bay’s active roster while on assignment.

The 23-year-old has played in 11 games for the Lightning this season but has only suited up twice over the past nine contests. He has a goal and an assist in those outings along with 18 hits but is only averaging 8:49 of playing time per game. Waiver-eligible for the first time this season, this assignment allows him to get a few games in with the Crunch where he can have a more prominent role in the lineup.
