Brett Connolly potted a goal in Syracuse's 4-3 setback to Adirondack on Saturday night. Connolly has been solid in the AHL thus far, recording 20 points in 21 games on the season. The second-year pro cracked Tampa's roster last season as a 19-year-old, but struggled throughout his rookie campaign with 15 points in 68 games. He will be fighting for a spot on Tampa Bay's roster once the lockout is over and could even have top-six forward upside.
