07/08/2008 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Tampa Bay Lightning signed unrestricted free agent forwards Mark Recchi and Brandon Bochenski on Tuesday.

In 1,410 career games, which includes stints with Philadelphia, Montreal and Carolina, Recchi has piled up 522 goals and 859 assists. He won Stanley Cup titles in 1991 with Pittsburgh and 2006 with Carolina.
