Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Confirmed to start Friday's Game 4

Vasilevskiy will draw a home start in net against the Penguins on Friday for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Starting netminder Ben Bishop (leg) reportedly was on the ice Friday morning but did not take shots early on. On paper, one might look at Vasilevskiy's 2.89 GAA in the current series and assume that he's struggled. But take a closer look and realize that Vasilevskiy has seen a whopping 115 shots from the Penguins in less than three full games. We'd recommend passing over Vassy in fantasy leagues given that he's only made eight postseason appearances in his career and has that paper-thin layer of defense trying to block pucks beyond the goal line.
