Mathieu Garon will play between the pipes on Monday. Garon has turned aside 47 of 49 shots in his last two starts. Right now, this is probably just a matter of Lightning coach Guy Boucher riding the hot hand. However, if Garon can keep this up and Dwayne Roloson doesn't turn things around soon, Garon might end up stealing the top job.

Mathieu Garon has won two consecutive games for the Lightning, but he hasn't been proclaimed as the team's starter for Monday's match in Minnesota. Coach Guy Boucher is still undecided on going with him or veteran keeper Dwayne Roloson. Until we can clarify the situation, consider Garon as the probable starter due to his hot hand.

Mathieu Garon stopped 24 of the 25 shots the Florida Panthers fired his way in a 5-1 win Saturday night. After a standout performance in Tampa's last game, also against Florida, Garon was given a consecutive start. Mathieu Garon has been a very reliable backup, and since the Bolts have a 40 plus year old goalie, he is essential. If he continues to play this well he will continue to earn more starts.

Mathieu Garon made 21 saves in the Lightning's 3-0 loss. Garon continues to show why he's one of the best backups in the game, despite taking the loss. Like his counterpart Brian Elliot, he is a talented backup that struggles when given the starter status. Unfortunately for the Lightning, starter Dwayne Roloson is old and showing signs that this could end of the road for the veteran. Garon is a decent keeper and plays on a good team, so he's worth rolling with until Roloson finds his game again.

Guy Boucher elected to pull Mathieu Garon after he allowed three goals on just 12 shots. This might be a good chance for Dwayne Roloson to regain the number one job as the Tampa Bay Lightning's top goalie. The aging veteran has been in a platoon situation with Garon as the Bolts have stumbled out of the gate. This should be an interesting battle to watch early on this season.

Mathieu Garon will get the start for the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night against the Panthers. Dwayne Roloson got the win on Friday so it appears that Garon will get the start on Sunday. Garon has fared well this season posting a 3-2-1 record with a .921 save percentage and 2.43 GAA.

Mathieu Garon was pulled Thursday night after allowing five goals on 17 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Nashville Predators. Garon had been excellent this season with a 3-1-1 record, a .942 save percentage and a 1.78 GAA before the game but he ran out of steam tonight after three straight wins. In the long-term this should be Roloson's team and the veteran will get the start in Tampa's next game.
