Goaltending!
TB-2
OTT-1
Dwayne Roloson [5] allowed 1 goal on 32 shots for the victory. Just two weeks ago I was pining for games where our netminder would just stop 90% of the shots they faced. A .969 save percentage is a beautiful thing.

Martin St. Louis [6] and Roloson were the game's first and second stars.
There was a matter-of-fact, workmanlike quality to the win. It's the kind of road game that a good team should be able to put together against a lesser opponent, even when they don't have their best stuff. It's hard to believe Ottawa used to be a perennial house of horrors for the Lightning just a few seasons ago.
Dana Tyrell [7] was +1 with 2 shots in 13:31.
