Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Among top twinetenders in NHL
Vasilevskiy made 17 saves in a 3-2 overtime win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
Vasilevskiy wasn't really busy. The first goal was a tap-in from the back door in the first period that was the result of blown coverage by Michael Eyssimont; Vasy didn't have a chance. Rickard Rakell scored on a one-timer from his knee on a second-period power play to put the Pens up 2-0. Vasilevskiy has won three straight games with just three goals allowed and one shutout for good measure. His 2.13 GAA puts him second on the NHL goalie list, and his .919 save percentage is good for seventh overall. Vasilevskiy is back to elite form after last year's back surgery. Use him well.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Poised to start Tuesday
Vasilevskiy is set to tend the twine on the road against the Penguins on Tuesday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.
Vasilevskiy is coming off a 29-save shutout performance versus the Devils on Saturday, which earned him his eighth victory of the campaign. Through 14 appearances this year, the 30-year-old Russian is sporting a career-best 2.15 GAA and will likely find himself in contention for the Vezina Trophy if he continues to compete at this level moving forward.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Star rising again
Vasilevskiy made 29 saves in a 4-0 win over the Devils on Saturday.
The shutout was Vasilevskiy's second of the season and 36th in the NHL. Those 36 shutouts since his debut in 2014-15 tie him for third-most among all netminders behind Marc-Andre Fleury (47) and Connor Hellebuyck (40). He was also honored before Saturday's match for earning his 300th win on Thursday. Vasilevskiy has won two straight games while allowing just two goals in his last three outings (2-0-1). He sits third with a 2.15 GAA, and his .920 save percentage is top-10 in the NHL. The old Vasy is back!

Vasilevskiy will protect the home goal versus the Devils on Saturday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Vasilevskiy ended a three-game skid Thursday with a 4-1 win over the Jets, stopping 23 of 24 shots to earn his 300th career win. The 30-year-old will take on another hot opponent in the Devils, who have scored 22 goals over their last six games.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Fastest goalie ever to 300 wins
Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in a 4-1 win over Winnipeg on Thursday.
Vasilevskiy became the fastest goalie to reach 300 NHL wins. He hit the milestone in 490 games, shattering the record set by Jacques Plante (521 games). It was Vasilevskiy's first win in November, and it came against the NHL's hottest teams. Expect him to carry a heavy workload this season ahead of Jonas Johansson and perhaps get into the NHL's top-30 in wins overall by April. He's 7-5-1 and needs 24 more to tie Sean Burke (324) for 30th overall.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Gets starting nod Thursday
Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes at home against the Jets on Thursday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Vasilevskiy is mired in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 0-2-1 record despite a 2.33 GAA. A matchup with the league's top offense -- Winnipeg is scoring 4.56 goals per game -- isn't exactly what the netminder needs in order to get back on track. Still, Vasilevskiy remains a lock as the No. 1 option in Tampa and should continue to see the bulk of the workload ahead of Jonas Johansson.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Strong game but little support
Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in a 2-1 shootout loss to Philadelphia on Thursday.
The loss wasn't on Vasilevskiy -- his teammates need to put a few goals on the board, especially against the poor-performing Flyers. The netminder is 0-2-1 since winning his 299th NHL game Oct. 30 against the Avalanche. The team doesn't play again for a week, so Vasy will get a chance to hit the 300-win mark next Thursday at home against the Jets.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Expected to start Thursday
Vasilevskiy was the first goaltender off the ice at morning practice, per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun, and is slated to guard the home crease versus Philadelphia on Thursday.
Vasilevskiy is 6-5-0 with a 2.59 GAA and a .903 save percentage this season. He was a top-three NHL goaltender for six seasons heading into the 2023-24 campaign, but he hasn't looked the same since undergoing back surgery during training camp in September of 2023. Vasilevskiy will face the Flyers, who are averaging only 2.62 goals per game.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: On precipice of major record
Vasilevskiy made 20 saves in a 3-2 loss to St. Louis on Tuesday.
The game was tight throughout, with the Blues holding a slim 2-1 lead until the 8:51 mark of the third. Vasilevskiy has lost two straight games after ringing up three consecutive wins. His next win will be his 300th, and he'll shatter a 61-year-old record for the quickest NHL goaltender to reach that number. Jacques Plante is the record holder at 528 games, but Vasy has played just 488 games. Vasilevskiy came into 2024-25 looking to rebound from what was his worst statistical season of his career, but he's seen some struggles. His 2.59 GAA and .903 save percentage are decent, but he hasn't stolen games for the Bolts this season.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting in St. Louis
Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports, indicating he will defend the road net Tuesday versus the Blues.
Vasilevskiy's three-game winning streak ended in a 5-3 loss to Minnesota on Friday. He has a 6-4-0 record with one shutout, a 2.54 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 10 appearances this campaign. St. Louis ranks 24th in the league with 2.67 goals per game in 2024-25.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Lets in three goals in loss
Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 20 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Wild. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Vasilevskiy kept the game close, but the Wild scored three times over the final six minutes, twice when he had left the crease for an extra attacker. This snapped his three-game winning streak, and fantasy managers will have to hope he doesn't go on a skid like he did after his season-opening winning streak was snapped. The 30-year-old is 6-4-0 with a 2.54 GAA and .906 save percentage over 10 starts. The Lightning continue their road trip with a massive challenge Sunday in Winnipeg.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: First goalie off Friday
Vassilevskiy was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida reports, indicating he'll patrol the crease on the road versus the Wild.
Vasilevskiy has played in all but one of the Lightning's first 10 contests, posting a 6-3-0 record to go with a 2.47 GAA and .911 save percentage. Without any back-to-backs in the short term, the 29-year-old backstop should continue to see the bulk of the workload moving forward but eventually might get a night off.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Records third straight win
Vasilevskiy stopped 33 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Vasilevskiy has struggled with consistency throughout the first weeks of the regular season. He opened with a three-game winning streak only to lose three in a row between Oct. 19 and Oct. 24. However, he's bounced back with another three-game winning run in which he's posted a 1.31 GAA and an impressive .962 save percentage. Vasilevskiy will aim to extend his winning streak when facing the Wild on Friday, though it's uncertain if he'll get the start after playing three games across the last five days.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to start Wednesday
Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off Wednesday, Ryan Boulding of NHL.com reports, indicating he'll start on the road against Colorado.
Vasilevskiy has earned wins in his last two starts, posting a 0.97 GAA and .971 save percentage over those outings. He'll attempt to stay hot against the Avalanche, who have scored 3.60 goals per game over 10 contests this year.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Difference maker in OT win
Vasilevskiy made 35 saves on 37 shots in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.
Vasilevskiy was the difference maker in the game. He really was --the Preds were all over the Lightning at times. Take out Vasy's three losses to the Senators, Maple Leafs and Wild where he allowed 12 goals, and the big netminder has allowed just seven snipes in his five other games, all wins. Vasilevskiy's ratios are currently impacted by that three-game skid, but we expect his .905 save percentage to up and his 2.53 GAA go down.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Set to start Saturday
Vasilevskiy will protect the home goal in Saturday's game versus the Capitals, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Vasilevskiy has lost his last three starts, allowing 12 goals on 59 shots in that span. The 30-year-old netminder has struggled since opening the season with three straight wins. Washington is a tough matchup after scoring 26 times over six games this season.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Third straight loss
Vasilevskiy made 14 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Wild on Thursday.
He allowed three goals, all of which were scored when Vasilevskiy was moving post-to-post. He wasn't out of shape; he simply didn't get across fast enough. The first two were seam passes through the crease that were converted on one-timers. The other was a feed from the corner to Joel Eriksson Ek one-timed through Vasilevskiy from the top of the crease. Vasilevskiy has lost three consecutive games after winning his first three starts. He allowed 12 goals (.797 save percentage) in his last three contests after he allowed just five goals (.931) in his first three outings. There will always be ebbs and flows in the season. Vasilevskiy will settle into a groove soon.
