Andrei Vasilevskiy News

The Lightning will hand Vasilevskiy his 41st start of the season when they travel to Winnipeg on Thursday. Vasilevskiy was on a nine-game winning streak before losing to the Sabres on Saturday, and somewhat shockingly followed that up with a second consecutive defeat in Minnesota on Tuesday. Luckily for the Lightning and for fantasy owners alike, the former Vezina Trophy winner is in a great spot to get back in the win column on Thursday, as Tampa Bay enters action at -190 on the money line.

Vasilevskiy has become one of the league's runaway favourites for the Vezina Trophy this season, but he is coming off a forgettable performance, allowing five goals on 14 shots (.643 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. The loss snapped a nine-game winning streak for the talented 31-year-old goalie, where he posted an impeccable 1.63 GAA and .938 SV%. Tampa Bay enters the action on Tuesday as a -135 road favourite against a Minnesota Wild team that has been outscored 8-3 in its last two games (0-2-0).
