No goalie controversy on Lightning: Roloson will start in Game 5

"Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher wouldn't allow a goalie controversy to creep into the Eastern Conference finals by saying that Dwayne Roloson is still his guy for Game 5 Monday night in Boston.

"I don't feel like we've got a situation," Boucher said. "We've got a goaltender that has taken us here. He's played really well, and he's getting prepared for tomorrow."

Although the Lightning came from behind to win a 5-3 decision in Game 4 to tie the series, Roloson was pulled for the second time in the conference finals. Boucher replaced Roloson with Mike Smith after Roloson yielded three goals on nine shots in the first period. Smith stopped all 21 shots he faced.

In less than nine periods of work in the series, Roloson has surrendered 13 goals. His save percentage in the four games is .861. It's .820 for the last three games, and his goals-against average is well above 5.00 during that period."
