Mathieu Garon is listed as day-to-day after leaving Monday night's game with a lower-body injury.
Garon, who was spotted without a limp Tuesday, said he was hurt while making a save on Evgeni Malkin during a penalty kill. "It's not major; I'm day-to-day and I feel better today and hopefully I'm OK," Garon said. "I'll need to test it on the ice and, in a couple of days, hopefully I'll be good." Anders Lindback will likely start while Garon is sidelined and it doesn't sound like Garon will need to go on injured reserve.

Mathieu Garon left Monday night's game in the second period with a lower body injury and did not return.
The Bolts have seen some lousy play from Anders Lindback early into his role as the team's starter, so they went with the veteran netminder between the pipes tonight. Lindback did make 16 saves on 18 shots in relief, but it was not enough. 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.

Look for Mathieu Garon to be between the pipes for Saturday afternoon's contest against Boston.
It seems that Guy Boucher wants to give Anders Lindback a breather after some difficult starts. This is a 1:00 pm ET start so adjust your goaltending rotation as soon as possible.

Mathieu Garon allowed four goals on 42 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers Thursday night.
It was the second straight start for the veteran, who was rewarded after a solid effort in Tuesday's game against Buffalo. Expect Anders Lindback to get the nod in Tampa Bay's next outing.

Mathieu Garon will get the nod again for Tampa Bay Thursday night.
It will mark his second straight appearance in the club's crease after he dropped a 2-1 decision to Buffalo Tuesday. The Bolts have seen some inconsistent play from Anders Lindback early into his role as the team's starter, so they are giving him a bit of a breather and an opportunity to work more on his game during practices.

Mathieu Garon dropped his fifth game in seven appearances on Tuesday night in a 2-1 loss to Buffalo.
He made 19 saves on 21 shots in the loss. Garon hasn't played much this behind Anders Lindback and losing to the woeful Sabres won't help him see more action even though his teammates didn't provide him with much in the way of support.
