Tagged with road loss Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 4-2 loss to Columbus.
Impact The Blue Jackets solved Vasilevskiy once in each period en route to a 3-0 lead. Columbus' Nick Foligno put the game away with an empty-netter in the final frame, and a pair of late Tampa Bay goals weren't nearly enough for Vasilevskiy and the Lightning to climb out of the hole. Vasilevskiy is a middling 2-3-0 over his last five starts but still owns a terrific 23-6-1 mark on the year with a 2.00 GAA and .931 save percentage.

Tending twine Tuesday Vasilevskiy will defend the road goal in Tuesday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Impact Vasilevskiy has posted a 23-5-1 record and a .932 save percentage through 29 games this season. He's routinely the fantasy chalk, and he'll be that way Tuesday. The Blue Jackets have won just one of their last eight games, averaging a mere 1.5 goals in the process.

Denied shutout in win over Wings Vasilevskiy stopped 25 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.
Impact Adam Erne ruined his shutout bid early in the third period, but otherwise it was a fairly easy afternoon for Vasilevskiy, who got staked to the 2-0 lead before eight minutes had elapsed. The 26-year-old has made a strong case so far for another Vezina Trophy, leading the league in wins (23) and save percentage (.932) while sitting second to Philipp Grubauer with a 1.96 GAA.

Taking on Red Wings Vasilevskiy will tend the home twine in Saturday's game versus the Red Wings, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.
Impact Vasilevskiy continues to amaze, as he's posted a .928 save percentage and a 2.42 GAA over the last five games. He's a surefire fantasy option against the lowly Red Wings, who have lost five of their last seven outings.

Best in NHL in most categories Vasilevskiy made 36 saves in a 3-2 win over Columbus on Thursday.
Impact It was a nice rebound for Vasy, who had lost two straight and surrendered eight goals in those games. Prior to that, he had gone 21-3-1. Vasilevskiy is the best in the business. He leads the NHL in wins with 23 and save percentage (among starters) with .931. He's second among starters in GAA with 1.99. It would be a remarkable (and rare) feat if Vasilevskiy ends up at the top of the league in all three categories. But it's definitely possible.

In line to start Vasilevskiy is Bryan Burns of the Lightning's official site between the pipes in Thursday's home game versus the Blue Jackets.
Impact Vasilevskiy has struggled a bit recently, suffering back-to-back losses to the Stars and Hurricanes while posting a sub-par 4.06 GAA and .901 save percentage. The 26-year-old backstop will attempt to get back on track in a home matchup with a Columbus club that's only averaging 2.06 goals per game on the road this campaign, 30th in the NHL.

Second straight loss Vasilevskiy made 36 saves Saturday in a 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Impact The Bolts were outplayed and Vasilevskiy was the only reason the score didn't bloat out of control. However, he has lost two straight games and he's allowed four goals in each of those two games. To put that into context, Vasilevskiy allowed four goals in three games total prior to that. He remains the best in the business, but watch for Curtis McElhinney to get a game soon, so Vasilevskiy can rest.

Protecting net Saturday Vasilevskiy will defend the road goal in Saturday's game versus the Hurricanes, Sara Civian of The Athletic reports.
Impact Vasilevskiy's 12-game winning streak ended when he allowed four goals on 41 shots to the Stars on Thursday. Nevertheless, he leads the league with a .932 save percentage and 21 wins, so he's an elite fantasy option regardless of the opponent. Still, there's extra risk Saturday, as the Hurricanes rank seventh in the league with 3.25 goals per game.

Winning streak snapped Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 41 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Stars on Thursday.
Impact Vasilevskiy had allowed just four goals in four meetings with the Stars this season, but they found their groove against him Thursday. Just like that, Vasilevskiy's franchise-record 12-game winning streak ended. He dropped to 21-4-1 with a 1.91 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 26 games. The Russian netminder will likely be back in net for Saturday's game against the Hurricanes.

Sets franchise win streak record Vasilevskiy stopped 16 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Stars.
Impact With the victory Tuesday, Vasilevskiy's winning streak is at 12 games, which is a Lightning franchise record. The Russian netminder has allowed one or fewer goals five times during the streak. He improved to 21-3-1 with a 1.83 GAA and a .933 save percentage in 25 games. Despite a shortened campaign this year, Vasilevskiy has a realistic shot at posting his fourth consecutive 30-win season.
