"Veteran goalie Dwayne Roloson was very good in the second half of last season, when he helped carry the Lightning to the Eastern Conference final.
That might seem like a distant memory for Tampa Bay fans, who have watched Roloson, 42, struggle this season. He has allowed at least four goals in 11 of 19 appearances and has an .882 save percentage and 3.80 goals-against average.
As a result, Roloson, who signed a one-year, $3 million deal to be the No. 1 goalie, has been on the bench while Mathieu Garon started eight in a row.
But Roloson gets his shot tonight at Ottawa, starting for the first time since Dec. 12. And Tampa Bay is hoping it's the start of another special second half. "
