TAMPA — For Marty St. Louis, silence was golden.
The last time he talked to the media before a potential milestone game, an injury put him on the sideline. So before his 900th NHL game, Saturday night against the Panthers, the Lightning wing declined interviews with a forceful no.
He then scored a hat trick to spark an enormous 6-3 victory at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
That was a much better result than when he missed what would have been his 500th consecutive game, Dec. 8 in New York, after taking an errant puck to the face.

TAMPA — G Dwayne Roloson has played in just one of the Lightning's past eight games and just 10 of the past 31.
It is clearly no fun for Roloson, who was signed to be the team's No. 1, to be relegated to No. 2 behind Mathieu Garon. But Roloson is not rocking the boat.
"You're always disappointed when you're not playing, but you can't focus on that," he said. "You can't focus on the individual part of it. You have to focus on doing whatever you can to help us get better."
