Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Plenty of help in win
Vasilevskiy stopped 19 of 22 shots in Thursday's 8-3 win over the Flames.
Vasilevskiy wasn't great in this game, but he didn't have to be behind another massive showing from his offense. This was the third time in the last eight contests the Lightning have put up an eight-spot. Vasilevskiy is now 13-9-1 with a 2.41 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 23 appearances. This was his fifth start in a row, and he hasn't played in more than that many consecutive games this year. It's possible Jonas Johansson will be called upon for the Lightning's road-trip finale Saturday in Seattle, though the team has not officially announced its plans one way or the other.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Loses in unfortunate fashion
Vasilevskiy stopped 23 of 25 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Oilers.
The 30-year-old Russian netminder couldn't do anything to deny Connor McDavid's first-period goal, and Vasilevskiy was a victim of an unfortunate situation in the sequence that led to the game-winning goal in the second period. He denied a breakaway attempt from Leon Draisaitl, but when Vasilevskiy tapped the puck away, it ricocheted off Victor Hedman's leg to give the Oilers a 2-1 lead. Despite the loss, Vasilevskiy had another strong showing, and he's now posted a save percentage of at least .920 in each of his last three starts. Over his last 10 games, the 30-year-old has gone 6-4-0 with a 2.33 GAA and a .910 save percentage.

This comes after the Russian netminder conceded a total of nine goals across his previous two starts, both of which were losses.

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.

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.
