Mathieu Garon News

Both teams were in action Saturday. Garon relieved Ben Bishop in the second period of a 6-5 loss to the Capitals

Garon has won each of his last two starts with a 2.42 GAA and .872 SV%. He has a good chance to make it three in a row with the Florida Panthers in town. Garon is 3-3-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .901 SV% at home this season.

Garon was only forced to make 13 saves in a 2-1 win over the Sabres on Tuesday. That win was Garon's first since March 16th. He has a fairly tough matchup against a Devils team who looks good with Martin Brodeur between the pipes.

Garon was pulled in his last start after giving up three goals on 11 shots in the first period vs. Ottawa. He has a fairly easy matchup tonight against the Sabres, although they have won two in a row.

With Anders Lindback out indefinitely Garon is the Lightning starter for the time-being. He lost his last start allowing three goals on 18 shots. He gets the start vs. a Senators team that just keeps winning despite dealing with a lot of injuries.

Garon has only made one start since March 4th and he was on the winning side of a 4-1 game vs. Carolina. He is 3-7-0 with a 2.65 GAA and .915 SV% this season. He has a decent matchup vs. a Maple Leafs team that has lost five straight games.

This will be Garon's first start since March 2nd. He is 2-7-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .912 SV% this season. He has a fairly tough matchup against the Hurricanes.

This will be Garon's fourth straight start in place of Anders Lindback but he hasn't won any of them and it doesn't get any easier as he will face a Penguins team who has Evgeni Malkin returning to their lineup tonight. Garon has a 3.05 GAA and .900 SV% in his last three starts.

Garon will make his third consecutive start tonight while Anders Lindback continues to struggle to become a consistent #1 NHL goalie. Garon lost his last two starts while stopping 57 of 63 shots (.904). He has a tough matchup against a Boston Bruins team that sits one-point out of first in the Eastern Conference with three games in-hand (13-2-2).

Garon's 2.63 GAA and .916 SV% aren't bad numbers but he isn't winning games. The Lightning are the highest scoring team in the NHL but Garon isn't getting the goal support Lindback was. Who knows what his matchup is like? It seems like it would be tough to go up against the Rangers and Henrik Lundqvist, but Winnipeg just beat them so Tampa Bay should be able to right?

Garon came in for a struggling Anders Lindback on Sunday after he allowed three goals on seven shots. This will be Garon's sixth start of the season, he currently sits at 2-4-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .917 SV this season. He has a good matchup against the Sabres who sit 29th in the leagues at 6-12-1.

Garon is 1-3-0 with a 3.19 GAA and .911 SV% this season. He has a a fairly tough matchup tonight vs. a strong offensive Hurricanes too. It will be the battle of the backups with Garon taking on Dan Ellis.

Garon will get the nod in goal tonight for the Lightning because Anders Lindback is sick. Garon is 1-2-0 with a 2.84 GAA and .918 SV% this season. He has a pretty favorable matchup tonight vs. the Capitals. There are a lot of backup goalies making starts tonight so there are plenty of options for spot starts. Garon just might be your best option.

Garon was scheduled to start yesterday vs. Boston but the game was postponed due to bad weather. Since he didn't start yesterday the Lightning are sticking with Garon today vs. the Rangers. Garon isn't fantasy relevant because Anders Lindback will likely start close to 40 games this season.

Garon was going to start but instead the game will be postponed.

Garon has played well in his two starts this season. He is 1-1-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .939 SV%, but isn't a great fantasy option considering Anders Lindback will likely see close to 40 starts this season. He isn't a great spot start option tonight either with a tough match-up against a strong Bruins squad.

Garon was victorious in his first start of the season and will see his second start tonight against the high-powered Rangers offense.

Tonight's game is the tail-end of a back-to-back for the Lightning and Lindback played yesterday. Garon is expected to get the start but it isn't confirmed. Regardless of who starts playing against the Rangers isn't a great matchup.

Lindback played yesterday, so the back-to-back is the reason Garon is getting the start tonight. He is a 3-3 in his career against the Hurricanes with a 3.30 GAA and .887 SV%. He has no fantasy value.

Tough break for Garon, who essentially will miss the remainder of the regular season.
