Lightning green light Andrei Vasilevskiy for goalie duties Monday
Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy will be in the crease for Monday night's encounter with the New York Islanders.
The Lightning are on the front end of a back-to-back, so Ben Bishop will likely step between the pipes for that one. Vasilevskiy enters Monday's matchup with a 1.99 goals-against average and .932 save percentage, to go with a 3-1-1 record. The Islanders are tied for 14th in the NHL in scoring with 2.67 goals per game.
There's only one game on the docket Monday night and we don't expect Vasilevskiy to prove victorious, giving him just a 39.0 percent chance of picking up the win over the Islanders. Our models believe the 22-year-old netminder will allow 2.82 goals on 27.32 shot attempts.
