Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Penciled in to start Saturday

Vasilevskiy will defend the net Saturday night, taking on the Devils in New Jersey, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

We're starting to detect a pattern of Vasilevskiy drawing one start per week, as he's now gotten the nod every Saturday since taking down the Devils at home in his season debut Oct. 15. The Russian has been spectacular in limited action, winning both of his starts and spinning a .952 save percentage.
