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.
