TSN is reporting the Lightning has taken another dip in the free agent pool, this time signing former Penguin and Thrasher Mark Recchi.

The site claims Recchi signed for one year at 1.25 million that could raise to 1.5 million with incentives.

After being claimed off waivers from Pittsburgh by Atlanta last year, the 40 year-old Recchi scored 40 points in 53 games.
