Vasilevskiy is expected to patrol the home crease against Nashville in Sunday's preseason matchup, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Vasilevskiy posted a 39-15-4 record with two shutouts, a 2.31 GAA and a .911 save percentage in 58 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. He led all netminders in wins and captured his second career Vezina Trophy. Vasilevskiy will probably be the first goaltender off the board in redraft leagues ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
