Lightning's Andy Andreoff: Sent to minors

Andreoff picked up two points in Friday's preseason win over Nashville, but with the Lightning's strong group of forwards, there's not much room for him. The 27-year-old was acquired this offseason after scoring nine points with the Kings last year.

Lightning's Andy Andreoff: Gets two points in preseason win

The 27-year-old is fighting for a bottom-six role on the Bolts, so demonstrating that he can be dangerous on the penalty kill can only help Andreoff's chances of breaking camp on the NHL roster. He had just 13 goals and 24 points in 159 career games for the Kings prior to being traded to Tampa over the summer, though, so if he does win a job don't expect him to make a fantasy impact on his new squad.

Lightning's Andy Andreoff: Dealt to Lightning

It's difficult to see how this helps Andreoff get ice time, as the Lightning are well-stocked with centers and don't really have a place for him at present time. Unless the Lightning plan to flip him somewhere else as part of a package to get something they really need, this move appears more likely to land Andreoff with AHL Syracuse than it does to give him fantasy value in Tampa.

Kings' Andy Andreoff: Minimal usage in stretch run

At the beginning of the season, Andreoff seemed locked into a role with Los Angeles, as he appeared in 22 straight games in October and November. However, after a shoulder injury sidelined him, he started seeing limited playing time, which especially waned down the stretch, as he just skated in three of the last 22 games.

Kings' Andy Andreoff: Three assists in last two games

He has managed to get three assists in his last two games, but just seven points in 36 games this season. Andreoff had an outstanding game, but his fantasy value remains hollow.
