Groshev was demoted to AHL Syracuse on Monday.
Groshev has been a healthy scratch for seven of his eight games on the NHL roster, posting an assist in his lone appearance for the Lightning this year. While the team could bring another defenseman up from the minors ahead of Tuesday's game versus Colorado, the decision to reassign Groshev could be an indication that Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) is close to returning.

Groshev saw 13:03 of ice time in his NHL debut and helped out on Nick Paul's second-period tally. The 24-year-old Groshev had been on the NHL roster a couple of times earlier in the season, but Sunday was his first game. He'll get a chance to compete for playing time while the Lightning are missing four of their regulars on the blue line.

Lightning's Maxim Groshev: Called up to NHL
Rotowire
Groshev has been recalled from AHL Syracuse by the Lightning, the team announced Sunday.
The Lightning defensemen injury list is extensive: Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed), Victor Hedman (elbow), Emil Lilleberg (undisclosed) and Erik Cernak (hand). That left the roster at just five healthy defensemen, necessitating the call-up of Groshev. Should the 24-year-old, who is leading AHL Syracuse in blue-line scoring with 12 points, play Sunday, it will be his NHL debut.

Groshev was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.
Groshev will head back to the minors after serving as a healthy scratch against the Islanders on Tuesday -- the third time this season that the blueliner has watched from the press box. Given the new rules surrounding call-ups, Groshev will have to suit up in the minors before he gets brought back up again.

Lightning's Maxim Groshev: Promoted from minors
Rotowire
Groshev was elevated from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.
Groshev was a healthy scratch in each of his last two appearances on the Bolts' roster. Still, with Darren Raddysh (personal) in doubt to miss Tuesday's clash with the Islanders, Groshev could be pressed into service. At a minimum, Groshev will serve as the emergency depth option for Tampa Bay.
