On the eve of pivotal back-to-back road games against division foes, the Lightning on Friday evening called up forward prospect Dylan Duke from AHL Syracuse. The move put into question the availability of matchup center Anthony Cirelli for Saturday afternoon’s game in Detroit and Sunday afternoon’s matchup in Montreal.

With the recall, Tampa Bay’s active roster now stands at 22 players, but that likely won’t be the case for long.
