Lightning complete second minor trade of the day, this time with Nashville

Earlier on Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning announced that they acquired forward Tye Felhaber from the Dallas Stars in exchange for Alexey Lipanov.

Now the team has announced a second minor deal of the day, this time with the Nashville Predators. The Lightning have added 25-year-old centerman Anthony Richard and sent forward Jimmy Huntington to the Predators.

Richard, a native of Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, has spent the entire 2021-22 season in the American Hockey League with the Milwaukee Admirals. In 31 games, Richard has twelve points (seven goals, five assists), fourteen penalty minutes and is a minus-six.

Huntington, 23, was signed by the Lightning as an undrafted free agent out of the QMJHL in 2019. He's spent the entire 2021-22 season with Tampa Bay's AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. In 27 games, he has twelve points (six goals, six assists), twenty-one penalty minutes and is a minus-four.

With the trade deadline coming up in just over six weeks, it appears that the Lightning may be gearing up for something big.
