Roloson made 33 saves, Vincent Lecavalier had two goals and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Penguins 4-1 on Thursday night. "Theres no way you can beat that team if the goaltender is not at his best," Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher said. "Theyve got everything, basically. Weve got to play almost perfect defensively." Brett Connolly and Steve Downie also scored for the Lightning, who have won six consecutive home games. Pittsburgh got a third-period goal from Tyler Kennedy. It was the first game between the teams since Roloson helped Tampa Bay beat Pittsburgh in an Eastern Conference quarter-final series last season. "Last year is last year," Roloson said.

Toronto had two man-advantage goals in a 4-3 win on Oct. 29, and Washington had one Oct. 13 en route to a 3-2 overtime victory. "Clearly the special teams battle ... two power-play goals for them and us not cashing in on our opportunities," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "A lot of them came late and we were pressing at that point in time, but they won the battle 2-0 and thats pretty much the difference in the game." Pittsburgh went 0 for 7 on the power play, while the Lightning converted two of their six opportunities. After Lecavalier scored his second goal of the game into an empty net at 15:49 of the third, Kennedy ruined Rolosons bid for his 30th career shutout a minute later.
