In the first-round playoff series against Rochester, he had a two-goal game in Game 2 as Syracuse jumped out to a 2-0 series lead. Goncalves closed the regular season with 14 points, including 12 assists, in his last 10 games. Another season working closely with the organization’s skating coach, Barb Underhill, and skill development director Mike Ellis also helped, Goncalves said. He began receiving more time on the first power-play unit. Goncalves said he developed strong chemistry with linemates Alex Barre-Boulet and Simon Ryfors, and that helped increase his confidence on the ice. It’s just his hockey sense, his smarts, he’s very competitive. He got a little more ice time - obviously that helps, playing in bigger situations, more power-play time. He’s getting stronger, and you can just tell he’s getting mature. “He’s close, very close,” said Stacy Roest, the Lightning’s assistant general manager/player development director and the GM for Syracuse. Goncalves was third on the Crunch with 54 points last season, and while his goal numbers went down (from 17 in 2021-22 to 13), he established himself as a playmaker with 41 assists - second on the team and up considerably from 15 in his first AHL season.

“I mean, for me, it’s going to be the same goal regardless of whether they have all 13 to 12 spots full or whether they have five or four open. “You see it on Twitter and stuff, but I try to not think of it too much,” said Goncalves, a second-round pick (62nd overall) in 2020. He saw, too, how general manager Julien BriseBois quickly filled them with veteran players on the first day of free agency. This offseason, prospect Gage Goncalves, who will be entering his third season at Syracuse, saw the holes the Lightning had to fill at forward. They ended the season playing important minutes and are now established pieces of the NHL club. Last season, two players on the Crunch’s opening-night roster - defensemen Nick Perbix and Darren Raddysh - earned promotions to the Lightning. Still, their message to prospects at AHL Syracuse consistently is that the opportunity exists for players to make the jump when they are ready. As an organization, they realize that development takes time. TAMPA - The Lightning do an exemplary job of not rushing their prospects to the NHL before they’re ready.
