Goncalves (upper body) was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.
The demotion of Goncalves suggests he has recovered from an injury he sustained during Tampa Bay's training camp. It wasn't part of the announcement from the Lightning, but the 23-year-old forward has to go through waivers before being sent down. He produced 13 goals and 58 points in 69 AHL games during the 2023-24 regular season.
