The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled 20-year-old forward prospect Sam O'Reilly from the AHL's Syracuse Crunch. O'Reilly, who has recorded six points in 12 AHL games this season, is slated to make his NHL debut when inserted into the lineup. The move follows an injury to center Brayden Point, who exited Tampa Bay's recent game against Winnipeg after playing just over five minutes.
Originally drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in 2024, O'Reilly was acquired by the Lightning in exchange for the signing rights to Isaac Howard. The center is in the first season of a three-year entry-level contract that carries an annual cap hit of $936,000.
