Anders Lindback lasted just one period Sunday night, giving up three of the five goals in Tampa Bay's 5-3 loss to the Penguins.
Lindback made just seven saves in the period before being yanked for Mathieu Garon for the remainder of the game. Garon would face only 11 shots the rest of the way, sticking aside 10 of those (the final goal was scored with the net empty). The Lightning have showed they can score at will, so it's their goaltending and defensive play that will ultimately determine their fate this season.

Anders Lindback will start for the Tampa Bay Lightning against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The young starter has put up pretty poor individual stats (3.12 GAA, .895 save percentage) but Tampa Bay's frequently robust offense has allowed him to put up a valuable seven wins so far. Even with Evgeni Malkin sidelined, the Pittsburgh Penguins likely present a difficult challenge for him to improve his numbers.

Anders Lindback is expected to get the start Tuesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Lindback is 6-3-1 on the season, but has ugly peripheral numbers (.897 save percentage and 3.13 GAA). He should continue to get plenty of starts, but owners should keep their expectations lowered for the young netminder.
