Lightning's Ryan Fanti: Posts first career AHL shutout
Rotowire
Fanti recorded a 33-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 4-0 win over Utica on Friday.
This was the first shutout in 19 career AHL games for Fanti. He's played well this season, winning all three of his starts with a 1.66 GAA and a .941 save percentage. Fanti is still behind Brandon Halverson on the Lightning's organizational depth chart, but he appears to be putting it all together for Syracuse after struggling in small amounts of time with AHL Bakersfield in previous seasons.

Fanti shifted to waivers Sunday to be assigned to AHL Syracuse.
Fanti spent most of the 2024-25 campaign with ECHL Orlando, posting a record of 18-13-5 with a 2.71 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 37 regular-season appearances. Assuming he clears waivers, he could see more action in the AHL this season with Tampa Bay's top minor-league affiliate.

Lightning's Ryan Fanti: Grabs one-year deal

Fanti signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Tuesday.
Fanti has yet to make his NHL debut and seems unlikely to do so this season either, as the Bolts are firmly cemented at the No. 1 and 2 spots on the NHL roster. In fact, Brandon Halverson projects as the first-choice call-up should the Lightning need to bring somebody up from the minors.
