Lightning's Sean Day: Sent to AHL
Rotowire
Day was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.
Day was a healthy scratch for two straight games following his recall from the minors Thursday. He has eight assists in 17 AHL appearances this season, but hasn't played for the Lightning yet in 2023-24. If Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) isn't ready to return following the holiday break, Day could be brought back up to serve as an extra defender again.

Rotowire
Day was called up from AHL Syracuse on Thursday.
Day last played in an NHL contest back in 2021-22 when he logged two games with the Lightning, generating two shots, four hits and two blocks while averaging 10:43 of ice time. The blueliner's promotion doesn't necessarily mean he will be in action against Edmonton on Thursday, even with Victor Hedman (upper body) injured.

Lightning's Sean Day: Inks one-year contract
Rotowire
Day signed a one-year, two-way contract with Tampa Bay on Monday.
Day produced 14 assists over 63 games with AHL Syracuse in the 2022-23 season. That is a significant drop from the 40 points (eight goals, 32 assists) he had in 69 AHL contests during the 2021-22 campaign. Day, who has suited up in two just career games with the Lightning, is likely to spend most of next year in the minors again.

Lightning's Sean Day: Placed on waivers Saturday
Rotowire
Day has been placed on waivers by the Lightning, according to PuckPedia.com.
Day inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning in June. He managed eight goals and 40 points in 69 games with Syracuse of the AHL last season but has been a disappointment since he was granted exceptional player status as a 15-year-old in the OHL.

Lightning's Sean Day: Remaining in Tampa organization
Rotowire
Day signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Lightning on Thursday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Day had eight goals and 40 points with AHL Syracuse this season, appearing in 69 games. He also made his NHL debut, playing in two contests. The 24-year-old defenseman will remain as organizational depth for the Lightning, though a good training camp would allow him to challenge for a third-pairing role.

Lightning's Sean Day: Will play against Habs
Rotowire
Day will be added to the active roster and suit up against Montreal on Tuesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Day will be making his NHL debut after spending the previous four seasons developing in the minors. Selected by the organization in the third round of the 2016 NHL Draft, the Belgian blueliner has garnered two goals and 11 assists in 19 games for the Wolf Pack this year. Once the Lightning get fully fit defensively, Day figures to return to the taxi squad or minors.

Lightning's Sean Day: Returned to AHL affiliate
Rotowire
Day was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.
Day didn't crack the Lightning's lineup during his three-game stay with the big club. The 23-year-old blueliner will almost certainly continue to spend most of his time in the minors going forward.

Lightning's Sean Day: Hits waivers
Rotowire
Day was waived by the Lightning on Sunday, per CBS Sports.
Day scored three goals and 15 points in 29 games with AHL Syracuse last season. The 23-year-old has yet to make his NHL debut and he likely won't see time on the Lightning's roster this season.

Lightning's Sean Day: Inks deal with Tampa
Rotowire
Day signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Sunday.
The 23-year-old has played professionally in the AHL and ECHL since the 2018-19 season, most recently producing a career-high 15 points in 29 games last year with AHL Syracuse. Given that level of production, one would assume Day would have a shot at the NHL roster this season, but the Lightning are deep on the blue line, so we wouldn't expect him to make a fantasy impact anytime soon.

Lightning's Sean Day: Assigned to AHL
Rotowire
Day was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.
Day was once a highly touted prospect who earned exceptional status in the OHL. He's one of just five guys, including John Tavares, Aaron Ekblad, Connor McDavid and Shane Wright, to be granted that status. But the wheels quickly fell off his game and Day never lived up to the promise he showed at 14. He was bought out by the Rangers last May and is hoping to resurrect his game with a new club.

Lightning's Sean Day: Yet to join team
Rotowire
Day was not on the ice for the second straight day of training camp after being deemed unfit to practice, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.
Day has yet to get into an NHL game, instead having split his previous two years divided between the AHL and ECHL. Selected by the Rangers in the third round of the 2016 NHL Draft, the 22-year-old defenseman may be hard-pressed to crack the 23-man roster for Opening Night against the Blackhawks on Jan. 13, so fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much in terms of fantasy value.

Rangers' Sean Day: Finally on board in AHL
Rotowire
Day picked up his first point of the season, an assist, in AHL Hartford's 7-4 loss to Springfield on Wednesday.
Through 15 games with the Wolf Pack, Day now has one assist, zero penalty minutes and a minus-10 rating. He has spent a good portion of the season with ECHL Maine, where he has been far more productive (15 points in 19 games). Day turned just 21 years old in early January, but his status as a legitimate prospect is quickly fading. He simply doesn't have the hockey IQ to match his physical gifts. They would never admit it, but the Rangers would be thrilled if Day managed to carve out a career at the NHL level as a depth defender. The odds are against him.

Rangers' Sean Day: Playing well in OHL playoffs
Rotowire
Day scored twice and added two assists in OHL Kingston's 6-5 Game 5 triple overtime win over North Bay on Saturday.
Day tied the game with 20 seconds left in regulation before assisting on Kings prospect Gabe Vilardi's winner at 14:05 of the third extra session. He finished the series with eight points in the five contests. Day is an elite skater and he has a boatload of offensive ability, but he still makes plenty of mistakes with the puck and his reads need a ton of work. Day will play next season in the AHL, at which point we should get a better read on if his physical gifts are enough to compensate for his mental lapses.
