Lightning's Gemel Smith: Drops to AHL

Smith was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

Since the Lightning reclaimed Smith back from the Red Wings, and no other teams claimed the 27-year-old, he's able to be assigned directly to the AHL. The Ontario native will likely be near the top of the list of call-ups should the Lightning need another forward. He's produced one assist in three NHL games this season.
