Up from AHL
Atkinson was summoned from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Atkinson, who was sent to the minors Saturday, didn't end up playing for Syracuse. The 35-year-old has four goals and nine points in 38 appearances with Tampa Bay in 2024-25. He might draw into the lineup Thursday versus the Rangers, especially if Tampa Bay wants to rest players ahead of the playoffs.

The end of Atkinson's playing days are likely getting close, but they're not here yet. After a forgettable 28-point season over 70 games with the Flyers last year, the winger was bought out and signed a one-year deal with the Lightning. Atkinson's only one year removed from a 50-point campaign, but getting a bounce-back year from him in his age-35 season seems like a big ask. With the Lightning, Atkinson figures to fill a middle-six role, and he could be an option on the second power-play unit. The winger should be able to get over the 30-point mark with positive regression after shooting just 7.4 percent last year, but fantasy managers can find options with more upside in the late rounds of their drafts.
