The Lightning recalled Stephens from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.
Stephens was sent down to minors Monday to retain his AHL eligibility, but he's back with the big club with a chance to re-enter the lineup Thursday against the Blackhawks. The 2015 second-round pick (33rd overall) will likely suit up if Steven Stamkos (undisclosed) is ruled out.
