Allows four goals in loss Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 26 shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Flames.

Impact Vasilevskiy has given up 14 goals over his last four games, but he's salvaged a 2-2-0 record in that span. The 29-year-old has given up at least three goals in seven of his 10 outings this season en route to a 5-5-0 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .897 save percentage. The Lightning will still give him plenty of opportunities to steady his play, as he's a massive upgrade over Jonas Johansson. The Lightning return home for their next two games, hosting the Blues on Tuesday and the Golden Knights on Thursday.

Makes 50 saves in win Vasilevskiy stopped 50 of 54 shots in Thursday's 7-4 win over Edmonton.

Impact Vasilevskiy delivered a remarkable performance versus a barrage of Edmonton shots, leading the Lightning to the victory despite being outshot 54-to-24. The 29-year-old netminder looks to have found his form after missing the first two months of the season -- Vasilevskiy is now 4-1-0 with a .930 save percentage over his last five outings. Overall, he's 5-4-0 with a .913 save percentage and 2.89 GAA on the season. The Lightning are back in action Saturday in Calgary, though they could turn to Jonas Johansson in net, giving Vasilevskiy a well-earned breather.

Starting against Oilers Vasilevskiy will guard the road goal versus the Oilers on Thursday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact Vasilevskiy has allowed seven goals over his last four games, winning three of them. While he's made improvements after a rough start to the season following his recovery from back surgery, Vasilevskiy will have a tough task Thursday. The Oilers have won eight straight games, and they've scored at least four goals in all but one of those contests.

Loses in Vancouver Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 21 shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Canucks. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vasilevskiy's three-game winning streak came to an end. The Lightning scored first, but Andrei Kuzmenko tallied on the power play and Brock Boeser added a hat trick to lift the Canucks in the win. Vasilevskiy has allowed at least three goals in five of his eight appearances so far, going 4-4-0 with a 2.74 GAA and an .894 save percentage. He may still be shaking off some rust, and the Lightning seem fine with letting him play through it for now. They continue their road trip Thursday in Edmonton.

Guarding cage against Canucks Vasilevskiy will patrol the crease on the road versus Vancouver on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Impact Vasilevskiy is currently riding a three-game winning streak during which he recorded a 1.31 GAA and one shutout. Since his return from a long-term back injury, Vasilevskiy has taken the majority of the starts while posting a 4-3-0 record in seven contests. That trend should continue for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Prevails in overtime Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 29 shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kraken.

Impact Vasilevskiy let a 2-0 lead slip away, but he was able to steady himself after that. A three-point effort from Nikita Kucherov fueled the offense as the Avalanche won for the third time in four games. Vasilevskiy has picked up each of those wins, improving to 4-3-0 with a 2.70 GAA and an .899 save percentage over seven starts. The Lightning continue their road trip Tuesday in Vancouver.

First goalie off Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports, indicating he will defend the road goal Saturday against Seattle.

Impact Vasilevskiy has won his past two outings, stopping 49 of 50 shots. He has earned a 3-3-0 record this season with one shutout, a 2.67 GAA and an .899 save percentage through six appearances. The Kraken rank 29th in the league this campaign with 2.59 goals per contest.

Sharp again in win Vasilevskiy stopped 24 of 25 shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Penguins.

Impact Vasilevskiy was a minute away from a second straight shutout before turning the puck over behind the net, setting up a Jake Guentzel goal with just 53 seconds left in the third period. Still, it's another encouraging outing from Vasilevskiy, who looks to be getting his legs under him after starting the season 1-3-0 with an .859 save percentage. Jonas Johansson will likely get the start Thursday in the second half of a back-to-back, lining up Vasilevskiy for a road matchup with the Kraken on Saturday.

Set to face Penguins Vasilevskiy is slated to start at home against Pittsburgh on Wednesday, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Vasilevskiy might have been rusty when he returned from back surgery judging by his terrible 3.87 GAA and .859 save percentage over his first four contests. However, he was terrific in his last start Monday, saving 25 shots en route to a 4-0 shutout victory over Dallas. Vasilevskiy will attempt to build off that strong start against Pittsburgh, which ranks 19th offensively this year with 3.04 goals per game.

Posts 25-save shutout Vasilevskiy stopped all 25 Stars shots in a 4-0 shutout victory over Dallas on Monday.

Impact Vasilevskiy hadn't looked great since returning from back surgery, posting a 1-3-0 record, 3.87 GAA and .859 save percentage over four outings, so his strong performance Monday is especially encouraging. It's made all the better because the shutout comes against a strong offense in Dallas -- the Stars rank seventh this year with 3.39 goals per game and had managed six goals on 25 shots versus the 29-year-old goaltender Saturday. Tampa Bay has a home contest against Pittsburgh on Wednesday followed by a road game in Nashville on Thursday, so Vasilevskiy will likely start in one of those two matches with an eye toward building off Monday's showing.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Guarding cage Monday Vasilevskiy will guard the cage at home versus Dallas on Monday, per NHL.com.

Impact Vasilevskiy is still trying to shake off the rust after posting a 1-3-0 record and 3.87 GAA in his four games since returning from injury. Coach Jon Cooper continues to support the 29-year-old netminder to eventually return to form as a two-time Stanley Cup champion. Even with the slow start, Vasilevskiy should be capable of reaching the 30-win threshold for the seventh consecutive season.

Gets hook in Dallas Vasilevskiy allowed 19 goals on 25 shots before being replaced by Jonas Johansson to begin the third period of Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact While Vasilevskiy still showed a little rust following his long layoff to begin the season, this blowout was mainly on Tampa Bay's skaters, who came out flat for the afternoon contest and never found a spark. The 29-year-old netminder has gone 1-3-0 since returning from back surgery, and his .859 save percentage is a far cry from his usual Vezina-caliber performance.

DECEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Facing Stars Vasilevskiy will get the road start in Dallas on Saturday, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports.

Impact This will be Vasilevskiy's fourth start in five games since returning from back surgery that cost him the first 20 games of the season. He is 1-2-0, giving up eight goals on only 74 shots. The Stars should give Vasilevskiy plenty of trouble as they are averaging 3.33 goals per game, ninth-best in the NHL.

DECEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Teammates don't help when needed Vasilevskiy made 23 saves in a 4-2 loss to the Penguins on Thursday. He allowed three goals.

Impact This wasn't on Vasy -- his mates couldn't score, which is an extension of the team's overall offensive struggles lately. After pouring in the goals in Vasilevskiy's debut, the Bolts have scored exactly four goals in three games, two of which the star was in the blue paint. He'll settle in soon -- he's already looking like the Vasy of old. But the Bolts need to help out here.

Set to face Penguins Vasilevskiy is expected to start at home against Pittsburgh on Thursday, per Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site.

Impact Vasilevskiy wasn't able to make his season debut until last Friday due to a back injury, but he's quickly resumed his duties as Tampa Bay's No. 1 goaltender. This will be his third start in the Lightning's last four contests. He's 1-1-0 with a 2.52 GAA and an .891 save percentage after those first two outings, though it's worth noting those matches were on the road and against two strong offenses in Carolina and Colorado. The Penguins shouldn't be taken lightly either, but they're a touch below those other two squads offensively, ranking 17th this year with 3.10 goals per game.

Takes loss Monday Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 23 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Vasilevskiy didn't get anywhere near the goal support he received in his season debut Friday versus the Hurricanes, when the Lightning won 8-2. In Monday's contest, Tampa Bay racked up 40 shots on net but only solved Alexandar Georgiev once. With five goals allowed on 47 shots over his first two outings, Vasilevskiy is still likely shaking off some rust after a two-month absence to begin the season. He'll get a night off Tuesday in Arizona, but it's safe to assume he'll make his next start Thursday versus the Penguins.

NOVEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting in Colorado Vasilevskiy will guard the road net Monday against Colorado, per Ryan Boulding of NHL.com.

Impact Vasilevskiy is coming off a 22-save performance in Friday's 8-2 win over Carolina. He looked solid in his season debut after sitting out the first 20 games following back surgery. The Avalanche rank third in the league this campaign with 3.75 goals per game.
