Eyssimont was traded from the Sharks to the Lightning on Wednesday in exchange for Vladislav Namestnikov.
Eyssimont will play for his third team this season after this deal. The 26-year-old likely slots in as a bottom-six forward for the Lightning, potentially a direct replacement for Namestnikov on the fourth line.

Sharks' Mikey Eyssimont: Garners helper in loss
Rotowire
Eyssimont produced an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Predators.
Eyssimont has a goal and an assist, as well as nine shots, over his last two games. The 26-year-old forward has looked solid in a middle-six role for the Sharks, typically playing alongside Logan Couture. Eyssimont has eight points through 18 contests with San Jose after producing five points in 19 outings with the Jets to begin the campaign. His place in the lineup should be fairly secure, and he could even take on more ice time if Timo Meier (upper body) is ultimately traded ahead of the March 3 deadline.

Sharks' Mikey Eyssimont: Adds insurance tally
Rotowire
Eyssimont scored a goal on six shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.
Eyssimont's six shots led all players in the contest. He scored late in the third period, tallying the final goal of the game. The 26-year-old forward hadn't gotten on the scoresheet through the first six games of February. He's at four tallies, 12 helpers, a plus-10 rating, 81 shots on net, 69 hits and 35 PIM through 36 outings between the Sharks and the Jets this season.
Eyssimont scored a goal and added two assists in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.
All three points came in a 12-minute stretch during the third period, giving the Sharks a 4-2 lead they somehow squandered. Since being claimed off waivers from the Jets earlier this month, Eyssimont has two multi-point performances in nine games but zero points in the other seven, giving the 2016 fifth-round pick one goal and five points with his new club.

Sharks' Mikey Eyssimont: Nabs two helpers
Rotowire
Eyssimont recorded two assists in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Devils.
Eyssimont set up Timo Meier's tally in the first period to pick up his first point with San Jose before assisting on a Nick Bonino goal in the third. It's Eyssimont's first career multi-point game in his third appearance with the Sharks, who claimed him off waivers on Jan. 6 from Winnipeg. Eyssimont played 17:36 minutes in Monday's contests, including 2:09 on the power play. The 26-year-old forward could be worth a look if he continues to see this type of usage. Eyssimont has eight points (one goal, six assists) in 20 games this year.

Jets' Mikey Eyssimont: Waived Monday
Rotowire
Eyssimont was designated for waivers Monday for purpose of moving him to the minors.
Eyssimont has yet to get into an NHL game and will need to wait a little longer before getting a chance to make his debut.
