Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Strong game but little support
Andrei 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: On precipice of major record
Andrei 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: Difference maker in OT win
Andrei 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 Tampa Bay 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.
