Tomkins was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Tomkins is back with the Lightning because Jonas Johansson (lower body) remains day-to-day. Andrei Vasilevskiy will get the start against the Islanders on Saturday, with Tomkins likely suiting up as the backup. Tomkins has yet to play a game in the NHL this campaign. He went 3-2-1 with a 3.33 GAA and an .892 save percentage across six regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay last season.
