Lightning's Cory Conacher: Brought up to big club

Conacher was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Saturday.

Analysis:

The Bolts have made a habit of constantly juggling their fringe players about the organization's ranks, and Conacher is no exception. The 27-year-old has dialed in more points (42) than games played (41) this season, but there's a reason why he's only been sent to NHL ice for seven contests -- he's undersized at 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, and has yet to prove that he can pin down a full-time role at hockey's highest level of competition.
