Although he made Team Slovakia's 30 man roster don't expect to see Marek Bartanus suit up for the team at the U-20 World Junior Championships. TSN.ca has released Slovakia's 25 man roster and Bartanus isn't on it. The struggling Owen Sound forward will likely sit the tournament out as an alternate meaning the Lightning will have four active participants in this year's tournament: Karri Ramo (Finland), Radek Smol

Sad to see the Chiefs waste another solid performance from Jonathan Boutin.

Word on the street was accurate, and the Springfield Falcons have announced that the Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled C/LW Ryan Craig and RW Darren Reid from Springfield of the AHL.

Craig, who will turn 24 on January 6th, came to the Lightning as an eighth round selection in the 2002 Entry Draft from Brandon of the WHL. Last season he led the Springfield Falcons in scoring with 27 goals and 41 points in 80 games. This year, Craig ranks 4th in scoring with 12 goals and 22 points in 28 games with the Falcons. Although an accomplished faceoff man in junior, Craig has primarily played wing this season. His size and strength on the puck have made him a formidable opponent along the wall on the forecheck in his AHL career and he possesses a sharp, accurate snap shot and a quick release. His only limitation is his skating, which was adversely impacted by a knee injury he sustained early in his junior career.

The 22 year old Reid was also a selection from the 8th round of the 2002 Entry Draft out of Medicine Hat of the WHL. Now in his sophomore season as a professional, Reid has 4 goals and 10 points in 21 games thus far this season for the Falcons. Possessing of a strong work ethic and decent skating ability, Reid is an excellent penalty killer and a tenacious forechecker.

Both players will be available for tonight's tilt against the Detroit Red Wings at home in the St. Pete Times Forum.

Last goal wins in a wild third period.

Ryan Craig and Darren Reid were not in the lineup tonight and word on the street is that they have been recalled by Tampa. Bolt Prospects will update once there is an official announcement.
