This is the last game of the season series against the Islander and this is yet another one of those games that the Lightning should win. But the Lightning have only two of their last ten games and with much of the other 'should win' games, this one will probably end in an OT loss as well.Roloson will get the start in net tonight, and tonight's game will be the first time he's played his former team since getting traded.
Some good news for the team comes in that both Ryan Malone and Steve Downie are skating with the team. Having them both back will be huge for the team as we wind down the regular season.
Go Bolts!
