Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Rarely tested in big win
Vasilevskiy made 20 saves in an 8-1 win over the Sharks on Thursday.
Vasilevskiy was rarely tested by an overmatched Sharks squad. He and the Bolts were well rested -- they last played Saturday in a 5-3 loss to the Leafs. Overall, Vasilevskiy is 11-8-1 with a 2.42 GAA and .909 save percentage. The Vasilevskiy of old is back.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Guarding goal Thursday
Vasilevskiy will start at home versus the Sharks on Thursday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Tough night against talented Leafs
Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in a 5-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday. He allowed four goals.
Vasy had the deck stacked against him with Auston Matthews (upper body) and Matthew Knies (upper body) both returning from injury. Adding those talented big bodies to a lineup that had won four of its past five games was a recipe for a tough, uphill battle for even the greatest goalies. It was Vasilevskiy's second straight loss, but he's still 10-8-1 with a 2.50 GAA and a .907 save percentage.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting Saturday
Vasilevskiy will protect the home goal versus the Maple Leafs on Saturday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.
Vasilevskiy received a full day off Friday, so it's no surprise he'll take the second half of a back-to-back. The Maple Leafs have averaged 2.95 goals per game, but they'll get Auston Matthews back from injury Saturday. Vasilevskiy has lost two of his last four starts, allowing 13 goals in that span.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Healthy scratch Friday
Vasilevskiy is a healthy scratch for Friday's road tilt against Nashville, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.
Jonas Johansson is starting for the Lightning while Matt Tomkins, who was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Friday, is the backup netminder. That allows Vasilevskiy to take the day off entirely. The 30-year-old Vasilevskiy will likely start in Saturday's home game against Toronto.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Win slips away Wednesday
Vasilevskiy made 27 saves in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Capitals.
The Lightning handed their star goalie a lead in every period, but Vasilevskiy couldn't make any of them stick, although there wasn't much he could do on Tom Wilson's game-winner late in the third. The five goals allowed tied his season high, and the performance continued a roller-coaster November for Vasilevskiy that has seen him go 4-4-1 in nine starts with a 2.33 GAA and .909 save percentage.

Vasilevskiy has a 10-6-1 record, 2.24 GAA and .915 save percentage in 17 appearances in 2024-25. He's coming off an 8-2 victory over the Avalanche on Monday in which he stopped 23 of 25 shots. Washington is tied for first offensively with 4.05 goals per game, though the Capitals are a bit less of a scoring juggernaut without Alex Ovechkin (lower leg).

Vasilevskiy stopped 23 of 25 shots in Monday's 8-2 win over the Lightning.
The 30-year-old Russian netminder bounced back from Saturday's loss against the Stars, where he allowed four goals on 28 shots, and he posted a save percentage of at least .920 for the fourth time across his last six games.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Tending twine Monday

Vasilevskiy will make his 17th start of the season Monday -- the Russian netminder is sporting a 9-6-1 record, .915 save percentage and 2.26 GAA. The Avalanche rank seventh in the NHL with 3.48 goals per game through 21 contests.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Tough third period leads to loss
Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Stars on Saturday.
The game was knotted 2-2 until the 6:55 mark of the third, but the Stars got two in 58 seconds on two separate rushes, and they never looked back. Vasilevskiy came into the match on a three-game winning streak, but even the best can't win them all. The Bolts have four games next week with three against strong teams (Avs, Caps, Preds and Leafs). It'll be a good test for Vasilevskiy, who has been one of the NHL's best goalies this season.

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!

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting against Devils
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.
