The 6'6 23-year-old spent the 2011 season with the Lightning after being acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Originally, Aulie was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the 2007 NHL Draft.
Aulie played in 19 games for the Lighting this past season, picking up just one point and 13 penalty minutes. He has spent just two seasons at the NHL level before settling in with the Lightning in 2011 and now returning for the 2012 NHL season.
