Lightning re-sign Tarnasky, Wanvig
Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - The Tampa Bay Lightning re-signed center Nick Tarnasky and right wing Kyle Wanvig on Monday.
Tarnasky inked a three-year deal, while Wanvig signed a one-year, two-way contract.
The 6-foot-2, 233-pound Tarnasky played his first full season with the Lightning last year and netted five goals and four assists in 77 games.
"Nick Tarnasky has all the makings of a true dominant power forward in the NHL," Lightning general manager Jay Feaster said. "He has size, strength, solid skating ability, willingness to commit himself to the defensive side of the game and an under-developed ability to finish that even he is just starting to harness and explore."
Wanvig was acquired in a February trade with Atlanta and appeared in four games with the Lightning last season.
"Kyle Wanvig is a pure goal scorer, as he consistently has demonstrated at the AHL level and, as we believe, he has the ability to demonstrate at the NHL level," Feaster added.
