Mathieu Garon is expected to start for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday. It will be Garon's fourth start in five games. He's struggled recently, but did turn aside 13 of 14 shots in a 2-1 victory on Tuesday. Garon will be aiming to earn his first two-game winning streak of the season.

Mathieu Garon had a relatively easy night in Tuesday's win over Buffalo. He made 13 saves on 14 shots while posting a 2-1 win. Garon didn't face more than five shots in any period. He has four wins and eight losses this season and should get his fair share of starts with Anders Lindback injured.

Lindback made seven saves in 20:51 before departing.

Mathieu Garon was the first goalie off the ice Wednesday morning, indicating he'll get the nod against Toronto. The Lightning don't want to overwork Anders Lindback, who played Monday night in a win over Philadelphia. Adjust your lineup accordingly.
