Lightning Claim Koci Off Waivers from Blues

The Tampa Bay Lightning announced on Thursday that they have reclaimed left wing David Koci off waivers from the St. Louis Blues. The Blues had originally claimed Koci off waivers from the Lightning on October 21. Koci signed a one-year contract with the Lightning this past summer. He has played in five games so far this season, one with the Lightning and four with the Blues. Koci has 13 penalty minutes on the season and has yet to register a point. Koci will bring plenty of toughness to the Lightning's offense, but will not likely see much playing time as he does not have much offensive upside.
