Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Among top twinetenders in NHL
Andrei 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: Gets starting nod Thursday
Andrei 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.

The netminder is 0-2-1 since winning his 299th NHL game Oct. 30 against the Avalanche.
