Summoned from Syracuse Sabourin was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

Impact Sabourin has played seven games at the NHL level this season, notching one goal and two assists with 13 hits. The 33-year-old had six goals and two helpers across 20 AHL games before his recall.

Relegated to minors Sabourin was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact Sabourin has posted one goal, three points, 13 hits and 32 PIM across seven appearances with the Lightning in 2025-26. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 6-foot-3 forward promoted again at some point this season, but for now, he'll link back up with the Crunch, with whom he's notched four goals, two helpers, 22 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 17 appearances this year.

Set for call-up Sabourin will be recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Sabourin has logged just three games for the Lightning this season in which he tallied one goal, one assist and five shots while averaging 10:21 of ice time. With Curtis Douglas (undisclosed) and Dominic James (undisclosed) both dealing with injuries, Sabourin will serve as an emergency depth option for the team's upcoming three-game road trip.

Sent to minors Sabourin was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Sabourin spent the past week with the Lightning and made three appearances with the NHL club, recording a goal, an assist, six hits and 18 PIM while averaging 10:21 of ice time. However, he should have more consistent opportunities to contribute in the minors.

Scores after call-up Sabourin scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged four hits in Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Rangers.

Impact The Lightning are missing a number of regulars up front, so Sabourin was called up to replenish the team's depth. He skated on the fourth line and made the most of his 11:42 of ice time by adding physicality and potting a goal in his NHL season debut. Prior to this season, he had logged just two goals and six assists over 47 NHL appearances between three other teams. He'll add grit and little else during his stay with the Lightning.

Brought up from minors Sabourin was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Sabourin will join fellow forward Boris Katchouk in making the trip up from the minors ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Rangers. If Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed) and/or Anthony Cirelli (upper body) can't suit up versus New York, it will open the door for Sabourin or Katchouk to make their 2025-26 season debuts.

Sent back down Sabourin was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Impact Sabourin joined the Lightning for Tuesday's matchup against the Predators and completed his four-game suspension, but he'll head back to the minors a day later. He'll be eligible to suit up for Tampa Bay if he's called back up, but he should see consistent playing time in the minors.

Rejoins NHL club Sabourin (suspension) was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Impact Sabourin will finish out his four-game suspension Tuesday versus the Predators. It remains to be seen whether he'll remain with the big club after Tuesday's contest, as he appeared in just four games with the Sharks across the 2023-24 and 2024-25 regular seasons.

Sent back to minors Sabourin (suspension) was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Sabourin will return to the minors a day after being recalled by the Lightning, although he did serve the third game of his four-game suspension during Thursday's matchup against Chicago. He'll still be eligible to play for Syracuse, but he could rejoin the NHL club at some point soon to officially complete his suspension.

Recalled by Tampa Bay Sabourin (suspension) was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Thursday.

Impact Sabourin spent last weekend with the Lightning and served half of his four-game suspension at the NHL level, and he'll rejoin Tampa Bay ahead of Thursday's game against Chicago. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll remain with the Lightning for Saturday's game against the Ducks in order to complete his suspension. Over four appearances in the AHL this year, Sabourin has recorded a goal, an assist, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating.

Assigned to minors Sabourin (suspension) was returned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

Impact Sabourin received a four-game suspension in Tampa Bay's preseason finale against Florida, and he has served half of it. He could return to Tampa Bay before Thursday's matchup against Chicago to work on completing his NHL ban for roughing Florida's Aaron Ekblad on Oct. 4. While he is eligible to play in the AHL, he can't appear in a game with the Lightning until his suspension is over, and he can only serve his suspension when he's on Tampa Bay's roster.

Up from minors Sabourin (suspension) was summoned from AHL Syracuse on Friday.

Impact Sabourin was given a four-game suspension for roughing Florida's Aaron Ekblad during a preseason game Oct. 4, and he hasn't served that punishment yet. Assuming Sabourin stays with Tampa Bay, he'll be eligible to play Oct. 26 versus Vegas. The 33-year-old Sabourin can't serve his suspension unless he's on the NHL roster, so any time he gets demoted without completing his punishment pauses the process. NHL suspensions don't make you ineligible for minor-league duty, though, and Sabourin has a goal and an assist in two appearances with Syracuse in 2025-26.
