Bolts stay hot; Connolly to remain with Lightning

The Lightning defeated the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday, 4-3, to extend the team's 3-game winning streak.

The Bolts started out slow, with some bad defensive turnovers resulting in 2 Buffalo goals in the first 5 minutes and with problems keeping the puck in the offensive zone. But Vinny Lecavalier's 800th career point - a goal - sparked a turnaround, and the Lightning would go on to score 4 straight goals. Mathieu Garon had another strong outing, making several spectacular saves that allowed the Bolts to fight back. Click here for the official game recap.

After the game, Steve Yzerman announced the decision to keep Brett Connolly on the Lightning rather than send him back to his junior club team. Congrats to him on earning a roster spot with some great play in his first 9 NHL games.
