Sheary was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports. Sheary played in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Toronto, earning three shots on goal and one hit in 12:18 of ice time. It's unclear if Sheary's return to the minors bodes well for the availability of injured forwards Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed), Nick Paul (undisclosed) or Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) because Tampa Bay is off until Thursday versus Winnipeg.

Sheary was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday, according to Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun. Sheary played three games at the NHL level earlier in the season before landing on waivers and being sent to the minors. He has three goals and seven points in 11 AHL appearances this season. The Lightning may need an extra forward because Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) has missed the last two games.

Sheary was waived by Tampa Bay on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. Sheary dressed in three of the Lightning's opening six games, recording no points or shots while averaging 11:01 of ice time across those three appearances. If he goes unclaimed -- which seems likely given his $2 million annual cap hit through 2025-26 -- he will probably be reassigned to AHL Syracuse.

Sheary scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Senators. He scored on a backhand from between the circles off a slick pass from Nikita Kucherov. The points were Sheary's first in his last seven games. He has 15 points, including four goals, in 54 games this season.

Sheary had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Calgary on Thursday. Sheary tied the game 1-1 in the first period when he tapped in a backdoor pass. It was his first goal in 36 games, a span during which he managed just eight assists. The 31-year-old Sheary is mired on a lower line in Tampa Bay and isn't really a fantasy asset. Nice night, though.
