(Sports Network) - Regular season success against the Washington Capitals has been hard to come by for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They hope their domination of the reigning Southeast Division champions in last years postseason can reverse that trend. The Lightning look to beat the Capitals tonight for just the fourth time in their last 15 regular season trips to the Verizon Center in a rematch of last years Eastern Conference semifinals. You can see the game on TSN2 and TSN Mobile TV beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. The Capitals own an 11-2-1 mark over the Lightning in the past 14 home games in this series and 20 of the last 26 meetings overall, but that does not include last seasons sweep by the Lightning in the playoffs second round. Another postseason rematch did not go Tampa Bays way on Saturday, however, as the Lightning dropped a 4-1 test in Boston in a rematch of last years conference finals. Martin St. Louis scored for the second time in as many games, but the Bruins Tim Thomas made 25 saves. "He made key saves at the right times and those were the moments where we could have kept it tight," Lightning head coach Guy Boucher said about Thomas. Mathieu Garon was not as successful, allowing four goals on 42 shots. Boucher is likely to go back to Dwayne Roloson in net tonight after he helped backstop Tampa to a 5-1 win over the Hurricanes on Friday at the start of this season- opening five-game road trip. Washington is coming off a victory of its own over Carolina, a 4-3 overtime triumph on Saturday night. Defenseman Mike Green netted the game-winner on the power play, while Alexander Semin, Jason Chimera and Brooks Laich also found the back of the net. "I think we started a little bit slow," said Green. "It seemed like we were a little bit nervous, I think it was because we were in our building. Once we settled down and started finishing out checks and getting on the forecheck, we tired them out and I felt that paid off in overtime." Michal Neuvirth posted 28 saves to claim the victory in Washingtons season opener, but Tomas Vokoun is expected to make his Caps debut tonight. The free agent signing is 4-0-1 with a 1.55 goals-against average in his last five versus the Lightning. Vokoun could have an easy time of things tonight if Semin continues his scoring pace over the Lightning. The winger had seven goals and nine points in last years season series. Tampa Bays Steven Stamkos and Alex Ovechkin of Washington are both looking for their first goals of the season. Stamkos 96 goals since the start of the 2009-10 season are the most in the league over that time, while Ovechkins 82 are third. nike Air Force 1 Low Prezzo . -- No. 3 Ohio State relied on a rare commodity to derail Purdues young shooters Tuesday.

They presumably didnt want to make a mess of the court where he was essentially a coach between the lines for the Mavericks when they won the franchises only title in 2011.CHICAGO -- Theres just one game remaining in the regular season and the NBA playoffs begin on Saturday. The Chicago Bulls still dont know their first-round opponent, but thats fine with Joakim Noah. "Whatever happens, happens," Noah said after the Bulls 108-95 victory over the Orlando Magic on Monday. "Our mentality is just getting ready for the next game, getting ready for Charlotte. Were going to focus on out next opponent and everything will take care of itself." Noah had 18 points and 10 rebounds and eight assists, Mike Dunleavy scored 22 points and the Bulls pulled away late. With one game left in the regular season, the Bulls are fourth in the Eastern Conference playoff race and looking at a first-round matchup with Brooklyn. To catch Toronto and finish third, the Bulls would need to win the season finale at Charlotte on Wednesday and have the Raptors lose at New York. "The important thing is for us to continue to strive for improvement (and) finish the season as strong as we can and go from there," Thibodeau said. Kyle OQuinn led Orlando with 20 points on 9-for-11 shooting, and Andrew Nicholson added 19. Rookie Victor Oladipo was limited to 10 points after scoring a career-high 35 points against the Bulls earlier in the season. "Hes still getting better on a daily basis," Magic coach Jacque Vaughn said of OQuinn. "His challenge is going to be continuing to play every play. Hes done a good job of being in the right position the majority of the time. Now the expectation will be continued to be raised." Jimmer Fredette had 17 points for Chicago. With guard D.J. Augustin missing the game to attend the birth of a child, the Bulls rotation was a bit off in the first half. Fredette was the first player off the bench and he showed the rust of not playing much since being picked up at the beginning of March. The Bulls led throughout the first half, often by double figures, but the Magic hung around and pulled within 67-64 with just under three minutes left in the third quarter.dddddddddddd Dunleavy, though, hit a 3-pointer to stop Orlandos momentum. Soon after, Fredette capped the third-quarter scoring with a pair of free throws to make it 81-70 heading into the fourth. The Bulls quickly thwarted any hopes of a Magic comeback by opening the final quarter with a 13-7 to make it 94-77 with about seven minutes to go. Fredette had nine points on 4-for-6 shooting in the fourth. "I didnt know until I got here," Fredette said of his increased playing time. "I was able to step in and help the team get a win." With a win in the season finale, the Bulls would get to 49 victories, a feat few thought possible following the injury to Derrick Rose and trade of Luol Deng earlier in the season. "It feels great to be in this position right now, but were definitely not satisfied," Noah said. "We want more, we feel like we can do more. Its a group thats gone through so much adversity, to be in this position is definitely a blessing. But were not satisfied." NOTES: The Bulls completed their recent roster shake-up on Monday by signing C Greg Smith and waiving F Toko Shengelia. "Were excited that he is with us," coach Tom Thibodeau said of Smith. "When he was healthy, he played very well. We feel were fortunate to be able to pick him up." Smith had arthroscopic knee surgery in February and is still rehabbing. He averaged 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 89 games for the Houston Rockets. Shengelia was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets earlier this season for Marquis Teague. Last week, the Bulls signed Ronnie Brewer, Mike James and Lou Amundson to bring their roster to the maximum 15. .
