Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Protecting net for Game 6

Vasilevskiy will defend the crease against the Penguins in Tuesday's Game 6, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Analysis:

Despite being up 3-2 in the series, Vasilevskiy has relied on his teammate to get the wins, as he has logged a 2.93 GAA against Pittsburgh, including four consecutive outings in which he allowed three or more pucks to find the back of the net. It should be noted that the 21-year-old has been peppered with shots, a total of 187 in five contests, but with the Pens' backs against the wall, he will need to be on top of his game to avoid a Game 7 back in the Burg.
