What It Means:

Vasilevskiy is coming off a loss on Wednesday where he allowed three goals on 22 shots faced. The Lightning are counting on him to bounce back with Ben Bishop out with injury. Vailevskiy has played well at home this year with a 6-1-1 record, a 2.32 goals against average, and a .922 save percentage.

Our models have Vasilevskiy as a middle-of-the-pack goalie option on Thursday with projections of 2.4 goals allowed, 25.1 saves, and a 53.0 percent chance of winning.
