TAMPA -- Lightning coach Guy Boucher announced Tuesday that he is going back to Dwayne Roloson as his starting goalie for the team's do-or-die Game 6 against the Bruins Wednesday night at St. Pete Times Forum. After relieving Roloson in goal in Games 2 and 4, Mike Smith made his first career playoff start and stopped 17 of 19 shots before Rich Peverley's empty-net goal with 12.1 seconds left sealed Monday's Game 5 win for the Bruins. Roloson entered the Eastern Conference finals against Boston with a playoff-leading 2.01 goals against average. That has skyrocketed to 2.52 as the Bruins beat him six times in Game 2 to tie the series and then chased him in Game 4 last Saturday. In Game 4, Roloson stopped just six of nine shots before being pulled with two minutes left in the first period when Patrice Bergeron scored shorthanded. Smith entered the game and stopped all 21 shots he faced, allowing the Lightning to rally to a 5-3 win and even the series before Monday night's 3-1 Bruins win.
