Lightning Claim Tim Wallace Off Waivers from NY Islanders

The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that they have claimed right wing Tim Wallace off waivers from the New York Islanders. In 31 games this season with the Islanders, he had one assist. He also appeared in 24 games with Bridgeport of the AHL, scoring nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points. This is really just a depth move for the Lightning, as Wallace could likely spend a good chunk of the rest of the season in the minors. However, with the Lightning trading off assets as the February 27 Trade Deadline approaches, he could see some time in the NHL if more players are traded.
