Santini was called up from AHL Syracuse on Friday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Scouting Report
Has excellent size for the NHL game, plus plenty of shutdown upside. Displays enough grit and toughness to enjoy a lengthy professional career. Also owns some two-way acumen. His high-end skill is not on par with a top offensive rearguard, so he will need to maximize his shutdown ability in order to become a prominent blueliner at the highest level.
Long Range Potential: All-round defenseman with some upside.
