What It Means:

Thursday will be Vasilevskiy's 10th start of the year. In his limited action so far this season, the 22-year-old netminder has shined going 6-2-1, allowing 1.89 goals, while stopping 94.0 percent of shots faced.

Despite his success this season, we project Vasilevskiy to have a rough go against one of the NHL's best teams. Our models give him a 51 percent chance of winning while allowing 2.58 goals, and stopping 24.82 shots.
