We’ve re-assigned goaltender Mads Sogaard to the @SyracuseCrunch. 🗞️ https://t.co/drGUWmql9i https://t.co/Svx4isY0bl Via @TBLightning on X

What happened: Tampa Bay announced the move Oct. 14, sending the goaltender back to the AHL. It comes one day after his recall to the NHL roster.

Why it matters: The back-and-forth keeps three-goalie depth available early in the 2026-27 regular season. An AHL assignment keeps Sogaard eligible for starts while Tampa Bay holds NHL roster flexibility.

What to watch: Syracuse's crease rotation will determine his next playing time. Tampa Bay's next transaction will indicate whether the NHL depth chart is settled.
