Anders Lindback is trying to learn how to be an NHL starting goalie and the Lightning are being patient with his progression. The 24-year-old netminder has battled some consistency issues this campaign, but that was expected to happen because of inexperience. "That's how it goes in the season, it goes up and down," Lindback said. "I've been feeling good, things just haven't bounced my way, and maybe I've overworked myself in certain situations and maybe I need to calm down in some situations. But other than that, I have a good feeling when I get on the ice and I'm going to keep working hard and it will turn around." He's being given the opportunity to recompose himself now, as Mathieu Garon will start for the third time in four games Thursday night.
