Keith Aulie and five other minor league players have been summoned to attend the Lightning's training camp.

Accompanying Aulie to Tampa are Cory Conacher, Pierre-Cedric Labrie, Matt Taormina and Mike Angelidis. Aulie and perhaps Taormina have the best chance of earning a roster spot but none of these players has any fantasy value for this season.

Keith Aulie was held out of the Crunch's game Wednesday night because he's been invited to Lightning camp.

Aulie has played in 76 NHL games over the past few seasons, amassing five points and 61 penalty minutes. The 6-foot-6 rearguard has six points in the NHL to go with 34 penalty minutes. He doesn't have any fantasy appeal if he makes the team.

Keith Aulie registered an assist in Syracuse's 3-0 shutout victory over the Adirondack Phantoms Friday night.

Aulie agreed to a one-year, two-way contract extension with Tampa in June and has three points in 11 games. He'll probably end up competing for a spot on the Lightning's third pairing when the season resumes and will not have any fantasy value.

Keith Aulie, 22, acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline, has played in seven games for Tampa Bay, dressing as the seventh defenseman, and the 6-foot-6, 217-pound native of Saskatchewan has the Tampa Bay Lightning coach staff believing the future for him looks bright.

You can see that he is a physical guy and he has mobility and I think right now it's about refining his game with the puck, his assertiveness, as sometimes when he wants to do something he hesitates,'' head coach Guy Boucher said. "But I think, defensively, his one-on-ones and his physicality is something we are going to need badly. It's good now, but like many young guys it's a bit erratic. It's our job with him to work at making good decisions consistently, and he should be a really good defenseman.''

Keith Aulie has been traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning from Toronto for fellow AHL prospect Carter Ashton.

The 22-year-old defender has appeared in 17 games with the big club this year, while posting two assists, 16 penalty minutes and a minus-2 rating. Aulie also skated in 40 games last year, but he projects to be a shutdown player with minimal fantasy value.

Keith Aulie has been sent down to the minors.

Aulie has two points and 16 penalty minutes in 17 games this season. He might eventually establish himself as an NHL-caliber blueliner, but he's not expected to ever generate enough points to have much fantasy value in standard leagues.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled Keith Aulie from the minors.

Aulie will have to get to Calgary for tonight's game against the Flames. He will replace the injured Carl Gunnarsson in the lineup if he gets there on time. The defenseman has played 15 games this season for the Leafs with only a solitary assist to go with a minus-three rating.
