Tallies in loss Chaffee scored a goal on two shots, levied five hits and added two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Senators.

Impact Chaffee had gone seven games without a point entering Monday. The 26-year-old forward has three points over 10 appearances this season, primarily filling a bottom-six role. He's added 24 hits and 10 shots on net, but he's unlikely to score enough to draw fantasy interest.

Promoted to NHL Chaffee was called up from AHL Syracuse on Monday.

Returns to AHL Chaffee was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

First NHL goal and assist Chaffee scored a goal and added an assist in a 6-3 win over Arizona on Thursday.

Impact It was a big night for Chaffee -- he scored his first NHL goal on a rebound to give the Bolts a 5-1 lead. It was an early birthday present -- the winger turns 26 on Friday. Chaffee saw action in two games with the Wild in 2021-22. His ice time is limited -- he skated just 8:29 on Thursday. But he's living out his NHL dream, and that's a story we can get behind. It doesn't make Chaffee fantasy worthy, though.

Recalled Wednesday Chaffee was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Chaffee has 25 points in 33 games for Syracuse this season, leading the minor-league affiliate in scoring. He made his Lightning debut Dec. 12 and should serve as forward depth with Austin Watson (lower body) out week-to-week.

Impact Chaffee saw 6:56 of ice time in his season debut against Vancouver on Tuesday in which he recorded two hits, one block and a minus-1 rating. With Conor Sheary (upper body) nearing a return to the lineup, Chaffee's services are no longer needed in the NHL.

Joining NHL roster Chaffee was promoted from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact Chaffee's recall doesn't bode well for Steven Stamkos' availability versus the Canucks on Tuesday. In his two career NHL games back in 2021-22, the 25-year-old Chaffee recorded one shot and seven hits while averaging 7:27 of ice time. If Stamkos doesn't play, Chaffee will likely slot into a bottom-six role.

Reassigned to AHL Chaffee was placed on waivers for reassignment to the AHL on Saturday.

Impact Chaffee will begin the year with AHL Syracuse if he clears waivers. The 25-year-old winger signed a two-way contract with Tampa Bay in the offseason after tallying seven points (five goals, two assists) in 10 AHL games last year.

Signs with Bolts Chaffee signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on Saturday.

Impact Chaffee got into only 10 games with AHL Iowa last season, but he managed five goals and two assists. He's got a decent track record for offense at the AHL level, but he'll likely have to start with the Lightning's affiliate if he can't win a depth job out of training camp.
