Date News Advice
Feb. 1, 2026 Groshev has been reassigned to AHL Syracuse, according to the NHL media site. - Groshev's reassignment comes in combination with the activation of star Victor Hedman from injured reserve. The 24-year-old got in one game at the NHL level in this most recent stint, skating for 9:57 against the Mammoth on Jan 26. He'll head to AHL Syracuse, where he has 13 points (one goal, 12 assists) in 35 games. None
Jan. 25, 2026 Groshev has been recalled by the Lightning from AHL Syracuse, the team announced Sunday. - Groshev has come up due to Lightning defensemen Charle-Edouard D'Astous (undisclosed) and Erik Cernak (upper boddy) being day-to-day. The 24-year-old Groshev has one goal and 12 assists in 35 games with AHL Syracuse. If he were to suit up in an NHL game, it would be his second of the season and his career. None
Jan. 5, 2026 Groshev was demoted to AHL Syracuse on Monday. - Groshev has been a healthy scratch for seven of his eight games on the NHL roster, posting an assist in his lone appearance for the Lightning this year. While the team could bring another defenseman up from the minors ahead of Tuesday's game versus Colorado, the decision to reassign Groshev could be an indication that Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) is close to returning. None
Dec. 29, 2025 Groshev notched an assist in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens. - Groshev saw 13:03 of ice time in his NHL debut and helped out on Nick Paul's second-period tally. The 24-year-old Groshev had been on the NHL roster a couple of times earlier in the season but Sunday was his first game. He'll get a chance to compete for playing time while the Lightning are missing four of their regulars on the blue line. None
Dec. 28, 2025 Groshev has been recalled from AHL Syracuse by the Lightning, the team announced Sunday. - The Lightning defensemen injury list is extensive: Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed), Victor Hedman (elbow), Emil Lilleberg (undisclosed) and Erik Cernak (hand). That left the roster at just five healthy defensemen, necessitating the call-up of Groshev. Should the 24-year-old, leading AHL Syracuse in blueline scoring with 12 points, play Sunday, it will be his NHL debut. None
Dec. 17, 2025 Groshev scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Syracuse's 5-0 win over Bridgeport on Wednesday. - Groshev had gone four games without a point and 14 contests without a multi-point effort. The defenseman is now at one goal and 11 points, along with a plus-9 rating, over 25 appearances this season. He's also received a couple of call-ups to the Lightning amid the parent club's ongoing injury concerns on the blue line, but he has yet to make his NHL debut. None
Dec. 3, 2025 Groshev was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday. - Groshev will head back to the minors after serving as a healthy scratch against the Islanders on Tuesday -- the third time this season that the blueliner has watched from the press box. Given the new rules surrounding call-ups, Groshev will have to suit up against AHL Cleveland on Thursday before he can be brought back up. None
Dec. 2, 2025 Groshev was elevated from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday. - Groshev was a healthy scratch in each of his last two appearances on the Bolts' roster. Still, with Darren Raddysh (personal) in doubt to miss Tuesday's clash with the Islanders, Groshev could be pressed into service. At a minimum, Groshev will serve as the emergency depth option for Tampa Bay. None
Nov. 27, 2025 Groshev was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Thursday. - Groshev was a healthy scratch in both games this week. He has yet to make his NHL debut, after the 23-year-old was selected in the third round, 85th overall, in 2020. Groshev had six assists in 17 AHL games before his recall. None
Nov. 24, 2025 Groshev was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Monday. - Groshev has accounted for six assists in 17 minor-league outings this season. He will be an option for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia and could make his NHL debut if Erik Cernak, who was absent from the morning skate, is unavailable due to an injury. None
Nov. 5, 2025 Groshev posted three assists in AHL Syracuse's 5-3 win over Rochester on Wednesday. - Groshev has yet to score a goal this season, collecting six assists over 10 games. He had just 14 points in 56 regular-season outings a year ago, down from 30 points in 67 games in his AHL rookie year. Groshev is in the final year of his entry-level deal, and it's unclear if he's shown the Lightning enough to be given a qualifying offer this summer. None
May 1, 2023 Groshev signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Tampa Bay on Monday. - Groshev produced six points in 34 games with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL during the 2022-23 season. The Lightning selected the 21-year-old winger in the third round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. None
