TBO.com: RW Ruslan Fedotenko is expected to be in the lineup tonight and make his preseason debut. He has been held out of Tampa Bay's first four preseason games as he recovers from offseason hip surgery.

TBO.com: «I think it was kind of fun," said the Lightning's Ruslan Fedotenko, who made his preseason debut Sunday. «It's more for the crowd and it's better for the viewers at home. It comes down to the shooter versus the goalie.»

TBO.com: FEDS BENCHED: Ineffective RW Ruslan Fedotenko played sparingly in the third period. LW Dmitry Afanasenkov took shifts on the power play and on Vinny Lecavalier's line.

«That's a question for the coach to answer," Fedotenko said. «I blocked a shot with my hand and I couldn't grip as much as I would like, but it was coach's decision.»

Tortorella wasn't happy with the play of his top two lines Friday.

«The chances were pretty much even, but it came from our third and fourth lines," Tortorella said.

The Tampa Tribune: Twice Monday, Ruslan Fedotenko appeared to have an open net to shoot on, but he fired a shot into the left pad of Raycroft in the second period and couldn't get enough lift on the puck on a chance in the third as Raycroft was able to get his toe on the attempt.

Then, less than a minute later, Fedotenko beat Garnett from the top of the circle with a wrist shot. That prompted Thrashers coach Bob Hartley to make a change, sending in Berkhoel to replace Garnett.:
