Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Four pass netminder in Game 6 loss

Vasilevskiy saved 29 of 33 shots during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy gave up three-plus goals for the fifth straight game, although he was able to win two of those. However, the 21-year-old was unable to get offensive support until late Tuesday, sealing Tampa Bay's date with Pittsburgh in Game 7 on Thursday. Even with a .920 save percentage for the series, it's fair to wonder if Ben Bishop (leg) will take over the crease if deemed healthy.
