65 Kevin Lynch C

Lynch will sit out 4-to-6 weeks with a lower-body injury, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Lynch has been a minor-league staple for the Lightning for the last four seasons but never earned a call up to the big club. The 27-year-old had a decent year with AHL Syracuse in 2017-18, scoring 14 goals and adding 12 helpers, and he posted five points in seven playoff games as well.

Lynch signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Sunday.

The 2009 second-round pick has yet to play in an NHL game, bouncing back and forth in the ECHL and AHL instead. Lynch's two-way deal signals another campaign with AHL San Antonio, where he notched 14 goals and 26 points in 2017-18.
