TAMPA — Goaltending coach Mike Geragosian received a phone call just before New Year’s Day. On the phone was Lightning scout Steve Baker. Baker wanted to know what Geragosian thought of Tampa Bay trading for 41-year-old goaltender Dwayne Roloson, who was toiling for the struggling Islanders.

Geragosian, who recruited Roloson to UMass-Lowell in 1990, didn’t hesitate in rendering an opinion.

“I know he’s a lot better than what you’ve got,’’ he told Baker.

When the deal went through, he contacted Roloson.
