TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Dwayne Roloson made 33 saves, Vincent Lecavalier had two goals and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Thursday night.

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 Tampa Bay beat Pittsburgh in an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series last season.

Roloson stopped an in-close shot by Steve Sullivan in the first. He also made several strong saves, including a lunging pad stop on Sullivan’s back-hander, during a late second-period power play.
