Shakin' Things Up

You asked for it you got it, I guess is what the team is saying:

The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled goaltender Karri Ramo and defenseman Jay Leach from the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League, Executive Vice President and General Manager Jay Feaster announced. Leach has been recalled on an emergency basis.

Ramo, 21, has appeared in six games with Norfolk this season, recording a 2-4 record with a 3.33 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage. He was sidelined for several weeks with an ankle injury and returned to action on December 1. The 6-foot-2, 201-pound native of Asikkala, Finland, appeared in two games with the Lightning last season, posting a 3.43 goals-against average.

Ramo is going to get the start Thursday against Toronto. No word yet who will be scratched between Holmer and Denis. No better time than the present to see what this kid is made of.

Also of note, it looks like Ryan Craig's season is officially over. His efforts to rehab the knee injury we futile, and the center underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament and torn meniscus. The estimated recovery period for his is 6 months. The kid just can't catch a break.

Gratton is still in the midst of a two week recovery for a hip injury. Should be back at the end of the month.

Ouellet is nursing a dislocated shoulder, estimate on that is 6 weeks.

No word yet on Lukowich's shoulder injury.
