Eklund/Tarnasky Reassigned to Springfield

The Tampa Bay Lightning have reassigned Brian Eklund and Nick Tarnasky to Springfield of the AHL. Both players will be available for the Falcons' game Thursday at home against Manchester. As a consequence, expect Jonathan Boutin and perhaps one skater to be reassigned to Johnstown of the ECHL within the next 24-48 hours. The Chiefs' next game is Friday night against Trenton at home.
