Mathieu Garon was blitzed for four goals on 18 shots and removed in the second period of the Tampa Bay Lightning's 4-3 setback to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night. Garon had been pretty steady in his previous two starts, both wins, allowing only three goals on 51 shots. Dwayne Roloson came on in relief early in the second period and sticked aside 16 shots. The Lightning had won three straight prior to this one. They're five out of a playoff spot, but in all likelihood will play spoiler during the stretch run.

Mathieu Garon allowed two goals on 30 shots in a 3-2 win over Anaheim Tuesday night. The win is the 19th of Garon's season, but the Lightning have little chance of making the postseason. He has overtaken Dwayne Roloson as the team's starter, but shouldn't be relied upon in shallow formats.

Mathieu Garon turned aside 23 of the 24 shots he faced in a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night. A long but ultimately unsatisfying playoff run took its toll on 42 year old Dwayne Roloson. Mathieu Garon, one of the NHL's most reliable backup goaltenders jumped on the opportunity. Garon has adjusted nicely to the role of starting goaltender, but with the Lightning outside the playoff picture, changes should be on horizon.

Mathieu Garon allowed three goals on 26 shots Tuesday as the Lightning were shut out by Ottawa by a score of 4-0. Garon's choppy season continues as his 17-15-4 record proves. He's a mediocre option going forward though he's likely to get the bulk of the playing time going forward.

Mathieu Garon allowed four goals on 41 shots Sunday as the Lightning was upened by Pittsburgh by a score of 4-2. Garon has become the number one goaltender in Tampa Bay of late and has been relatively solid in the process. We don't trust him a whole lot going forward, but it appears he'll certainly get the playing time if nothing else.

Mathieu Garon will be between the pipes for Sunday's contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Garon has won six of his last eight starts and has been playing much better of late. Lightning head coach Guy Boucher was pleased with Garon's performance in Saturday's win. "In the 3rd period he did what No. 1 goalies do, make the big save." Garon is a solid goaltender that is much better suited as a backup and given his track record, he shouldn't be counted on as a number one netminder. However, he's a decent third goalie to have on your fantasy team.
