 Tampa Bay Lightning (8-5-7)

Lightning-Thrashers Preview

(AP) -- It's not immediately known who Tampa Bay Lightning coach Rick Tocchet will start in goal Sunday. He may want to give a long look to Antero Niittymaki.

Should the backup be tabbed to face Atlanta, Niittymaki will try to extend his winning streak over the Thrashers to an incredible 14 games.

Niittymaki helped Finland win the silver medal at the 2006 Olympics, but managed only 62 wins in five seasons with Philadelphia before joining the Lightning via free agency in July. (MORE)
