Duke's AHL Tear Earns Lightning Recall Shot

Tampa Bay pulls the trigger on Dylan Duke from Syracuse, the 21-year-old forward who's lighting up the AHL with 13 goals in 36 games as a rookie. GM Julien BriseBois knows Cirelli's day-to-day status hangs over tomorrow's Detroit tilt, and Duke's gritty game - bigger than his 5-foot-10 frame suggests - positions him perfectly for a potential NHL debut. The fourth-round steal from 2021 brings Michigan snarl and pro-ready scoring at a time when the Bolts need depth in the dirty areas.
