The Tampa Bay Lightning have significantly reduced their training camp roster, as 18 new players have been cut from it.

Nine Lightning players have been re-assigned to the club's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch: Dylan Duke, Jaydon Dureau, Lucas Edmonds, Dyllan Gill, Niko Huuhtanen, Milo Roelens, Roman Schmidt, Lukas Svejkovsky & Gabriel Szturc. 

In addition, the Lightning also released nine players from their professional tryout (PTO) contracts: Gabriel Dumont, Ryan Fanti, Tyson Feist, Brandon Halverson, Kale Kessy, Jujhar Khaira, Joel Teasdale, Daniel Walcott & Scott Walford. 

With the regular season quickly approaching, the Lightning still have some more roster cuts to make before they finalize their opening night roster.
