TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning today announced their 63-man roster for their 2015 Training Camp which opens on Thursday at Amalie Arena with medical and physical testing. The roster features 36 forwards, 20 defensemen and seven goaltenders. Players are expected to begin the media day portion around 9:30 a.m. after testing is complete, although that time is subject to change.

The Lightning’s training camp roster features the same familiar faces that brought the team to the Stanley Cup Final last season, including Steven Stamkos, Ben Bishop, Anton Stralman, Victor Hedman, Alex Killorn and the Triplets - Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov - to name a few. Included is Tampa Bay’s free agent signing from the summer, Erik Condra, who joins the team from the Ottawa Senators.

The Bolts roster features five invitees, including forward Ryan Martindale, defensemen Charlie Dodero and Kevin Gibson, as well as goaltenders Ray Emery and Philippe Cadorette. The roster also includes the 23 prospects currently participating in the 2015 Lightning Prospect Tournament in Estero, FL.
