The Tampa Bay Lightning will put a new wrinkle into its top power play unit for Saturday's game with the Rangers as defenseman Matt Gilroy gets a chance to man the blue line.

Certainly a boost for the Bellmore, NY native. The offensive defenseman has six assists in 22 games so far but could see an uptick in production with more minutes.

“I just have to take my opportunity and play,” Gilroy said. “I don’t want to force things, just let it come naturally.”

Gilroy probably makes the team as a spare defenseman. Gilroy scored seven goals over his 127-game NHL career. He could improve under coach Guy Boucher but likely will not become the hyped offensive defenseman that won the Hobey Baker three seasons ago, at the NHL level.
