Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting Game 5

Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes for Sunday's Game 5 against the Penguins.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy continues to man the crease with Ben Bishop (leg) sidelined and performed relatively well in his last outing, stopping 35 of the 38 shots sent his direction. The 21-year-old netminder will face Marc-Andre Fleury in Sunday's matchup, with the opposing netminder making his first start of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Bolts will look to take the road game in Pittsburgh so they can return home with a chance to close out the Penguins.
