Springfield, MA â The Springfield Falcons announced today that the Tampa Bay Lightning have reassigned left wing, Ryan Tobler to the Chicago Wolves.

He was 5th on the team in goals last season and also was 2nd on the team in power play goals last year with 10.
Tampa Bay Lightning General Manager, Jay Feaster stated, "Due to a numbers problem in Springfield and the fact that AHL teams can only dress six veterans per game, we decided to reassign Ryan to Chicago.
