SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The Tampa Bay Lightning have recalled goaltender Brandon Halverson from the Syracuse Crunch, Vice President and General Manager Julien BriseBois announced today.

Halverson, 30, has appeared in 42 games with Syracuse this season, recording a 24-11-6 record with a .906 save percentage, 2.39 goals-against average and six shutouts.

On Tuesday, the 6-foot-5, 235-pound netminder was named the Crunch's winner of the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year Award for his outstanding contributions to the Syracuse community during the 2025-26 campaign. This season, Halverson created Halvy's Saves for Recovery to raise funds and awareness for alcohol and drug recovery. For every save he makes this season, Halverson is donating $1 to Helio Health to support programs for alcohol and drug recovery.
