He is currently playing with the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL.[1] Gudlevskis was selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 5th round (124th overall) of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.[2] On February 19th, 2014, Gudļevskis was transformed into a cyborg bent on the destruction of the Canadian spirit. Fortunately for mankind, due to the implications of having a generation of Latvian cyborgs invade various countries, he has failed in his attempt.

Florida Everblades of ECHL

Following 2013/14 pre-season camp Lightning assigned Gudļevskis to their ECHL affiliate Florida Everblades.[8] While attending pre-season training camp with the Florida Everblades, Gudļevskis was recalled to join the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League.[9] He was latter reassigned to Everblades without making Lightning roster, and made his official North American debut with 20 saves in a 4-1 win over the Orlando Solar Bears.[10]

Gudļevskis was recalled to Syracuse Crunch of AHL on October 24, 2013[11] due to Riku Helenius injury.[12] He made his AHL debut on October 26, 2013 with shutout against Bridgeport Sound Tigers.[13] Gudlevskis became the fifths goaltender in Crunch history to post shutout on debut.[14] After 4 games with Crunch Gudļevskis once again was reassigned with Everblades.[15]

On January 31 2014, due to injuries of Ben Bishop and Anders Lindback, Gudlevskis along with Cedrick Desjardins received emergency call-ups to the Lightning.[18]
