Santini has one assist, six blocked shots and seven hits in nine NHL appearances this season. He has supplied five helpers in 18 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Santini was summoned from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Lightning were down to only six healthy defensemen, hence the recall of Santini. He has one assist, six hits and five blocked shots in eight NHL games this season. Santini had five assists in 18 AHL games before his recall.

Santini was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Santini has an assist in eight outings with Tampa Bay this season. The 30-year-old has also recorded five assists across 16 appearances with Syracuse.

Santini was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Santini has one assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and five hits in seven NHL appearances this season. If Emil Lilleberg (undisclosed) can't play against Florida, Santini could enter Monday's lineup.

Santini has been re-assigned to AHL Syracuse, the Lightning announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Santini got into seven games in the few weeks he was at the NHL level, picking up an assist while averaging 12:01 of ice time per night. The 30-year-old was a healthy scratch the last two games, though. In the AHL with Syracuse, he has four assists in 13 games.

Santini recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Santini set up Declan Carlile on the Lightning's fourth goal of the game. The helper was Santini's first NHL point since the 2022-23 campaign with the Blues, though he has seen very little time at the top level since then. The 30-year-old is filling in for an injury-riddled Lightning blue line that's missing Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh, Erik Cernak and Max Crozier to undisclosed injuries. For the season, Santini has a helper, three shots on net, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in four appearances.

Santini was recalled from the minors Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Santini has been putting up decent numbers in the minors this year, notching four assists in 13 games for the Crunch. In addition to Santini, the Bolts also elevated Declan Carlile from the minors, which would seem to indicate there are multiple injury concerns on the blue line. If Santini does face the Devils on Tuesday, it would mark his 2025-26 debut.

Santini was re-assigned to AHL Syracuse by the Lightning, the team announced Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Santini was recalled by the Lightning to serve as a depth option following some injury issues, but it's a good sign those are going to be resolved in time for the team's next game, Thursday against the Blackhawks. The 30-year-old will now return to the AHL, where he has recorded one assist in two appearances so far.

Santini was called up from AHL Syracuse on Friday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Lightning need a seventh defenseman as Max Crozier is out of action with an undisclosed injury. Santini has one assist in two AHL games this season. The 30-year-old defenseman has played 124 regular-season games at the NHL level over parts of nine seasons, including one game with the Lightning in 2024-25.

Santini was placed on waivers Sunday for the purpose of sending him to AHL Syracuse.

EDGE Analysis

Santini contributed six goals and 17 points in 58 regular-season appearances with AHL Syracuse in 2024-25. He will probably spend most, if not all, of this campaign in the minors.
