Ryan Callahan will be placed on long-term injury reserve with degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine, Tampa Bay Lightning vice president and general manager Julien BriseBois announced Thursday.

Recommended to not play professional hockey again due to the condition, Callahan's blow comes after a 2018-19 season in which the Rochester, New York native skated in 52 games, with seven goals and 17 points for Jon Cooper's record-tying squad.

Callahan, acquired from the Rangers in the Mar. 2014 trade that sent Marty St. Louis to the Rangers, appeared in 757 career NHL games with the Bolts and New York Rangers, recording 186 goals and 386 points.
