Michael Bournival was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.Bournival has drawn into four games for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season, but he has yet to tally a point for the Bolts in 2017-18 while averaging less than 10 minutes of ice time per game. He should provide the team with some depth up front with a back-to-back set on tap, but could remain in the press box if both Tyler Johnson (undisclosed) and Nikita Kucherov (upper body) are able to play when the team next suits up, which will be Wednesday against the Sabres.

He has yet to make his season debut at the highest level this season, though, and Matthew Peca -- who was also called up from Syracuse on Sunday -- should be the favorite to hold down a fourth-line spot while Ondrej Palat sits out with an undisclosed ailment.
