Pasquale has signed a contract with Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL, Karl Mansson of Hockeynews.se reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pasquale will stay in the KHL for a fourth straight season after logging a combined 44-27-6 record across the last two years with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. He made two appearances for Team Canada at the 2022 Olympics, but at 31 years old, it's increasingly unlikely he sees another opportunity to play in North America.

Pasquale has signed a contract with Barys Nur-Sultan of the KHL.

EDGE Analysis

Pasquale has only appeared in three NHL contests since turning pro in 2010-11, so he'll now head overseas to play in Russia's top league, where he'll undoubtedly receive an increase in playing time and pay. The 28-year-old netminder's North American playing days have likely come to an end.

Pasquale was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Pasquale's demotion is a clear indication that Louis Domingue (lower body) will be ready to serve as the backup to Andrei Vasilevskiy for Game 1 against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Pasquale will return to the Crunch, for whom he posted a 25-12-3 record and 2.37 GAA. The netminder will be an unrestricted free agent this summer and will likely have to move on from the Lightning organization if he wants a shot at the 23-man roster.

Pasquale earned the win Saturday with a 30-save performance over Boston. The final score was 6-3.

EDGE Analysis

He has been solid this week, going 1-1 with a .910 save percentage. Pasquale is a seasoned minor-league veteran living a dream with the best NHL team in a long, long time. His NHL debut came in December and this was just his third start. Great story for Pasquale.

Pasquale will start in the season finale versus host Boston on Saturday afternoon, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pasquale can look back fondly on his debut season, even though he only will end up with three starts. After all, we're talking about a 28-year-old goalie who finally ascended to the big stage after several seasons honing his craft in the minors. Pasquale reportedly will be countered by Tuukka Rask in this one.

Pasquale allowed four goals on 45 shots in Tuesday's loss to the Canadiens.

EDGE Analysis

With the team playing the second game in as many nights and Louis Domingue (lower body) on the shelf, Pasquale got his second start of the season. The game is meaningless for the Lightning, but Pasquale still showcased a solid effort. He's not expected to get another start for the remainder of the season.

Pasquale is slated to start in Tuesday's game against the Canadiens, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It will mark the second career appearance for Pasquale, who stopped only 19 of 24 shots but still managed to pick up the win in his NHL debut back in December against the Red Wings. The 28-year-old will likely stick around with the parent club so long as top backup Louis Domingue continues to deal with a lower-body injury. With the Lightning already having secured the Presidents' Trophy, it's possible that Pasquale could pick up additional starts beyond Tuesday as the team looks to give extra rest to top netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy prior to the playoffs.

Pasquale was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

An injury to Louis Domingue (lower body) necessitated Pasquale's call-up from the minors. Given the Lightning are heading into a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday versus the Senators and Canadiens, respectively, Pasquale could make the second NHL start of his career, especially considering the team has little need to put starter Andrei Vasilevskiy into harm's way by having him take both games.

Pasquale was sent down to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Andrei Vasilevskiy (foot) nearing a return to game action, Pasquale was expendable. The 28-year-old won his only start with the Lightning but will return to Syracuse where he's posted a 5-2-0 record in nine appearances.

Pasquale allowed five goals while making 19 saves during Tuesday's 6-5 shootout win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Early jitters may have played a role as Pasquale entered the crease for the first time in the pros against a Detroit organization where he spent time in as a minor leaguer. The big goalie settled down after a rough start, allowing Tampa Bay to come from behind and eventually win the game in a shootout. Pasquale played a pivotal role in said shootout, making two saves en route to his first career victory.
