Update: Leafs @ Lightning

Just a quick update on the game tonight, that is featured on Leafs TV at 7:30pm.

The Tampa Bay Lightning called up goaltender Karri Ramo from the AHL today, and he will get the start in goal tonight against the Leafs.

Usually not big enough to post about, but this is coming off a brutal loss to the hands of the Carolina Hurricanes where we faced a sub-par backup goaltender. Tonight, the Leafs better come out strong, fire plenty of shots on net, and try to have a man in front at all times, as we have a golden opportunity at a win, facing a third string goaltender. Marc Denis is a healthy scratch and Johan Holmqvist will serve as the backup.

Though Tampa Bay sits in 14th spot, 4 points back of Toronto in 9th, Tampa Bay boasts an Eastern Conference best 11-5-2 home record. One more thing to look out for is Tampa Bay's 6th overall in the league powerplay.

Vesa Toskala will get his 11th consecutive start tonight (must be coming up on some kind of record?) for the blue and white.
