Lightning add goalie depth by acquiring Pasquale from Oilers

The Tampa Bay Lightning added to their goaltending depth Wednesday, acquiring Eddie Pasquale from the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for future considerations, the team announced.

Pasquale, a fourth-round pick of the Atlanta Thrashers back in 2009, has spent the bulk of his pro career in the AHL. He owns a .910 save percentage and a 2.60 goals-against average in 16 games this season with Edmonton's AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors.

In a corresponding move, the Lightning's AHL team, the Syracuse Crunch, traded forward Ty Loney and goaltender Nick Riopel to the Condors for future considerations.

Loney, 25, has spent the bulk of this campaign in the ECHL, picking up 34 points in 32 games. Riopel has also played almost exclusively in The Coast this season, where he owns an .897 save percentage and a 3.28 goals-against average.
