Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Gets starting nod against Flyers

Vasilevskiy will man the crease Wednesday versus Philadelphia.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy has posted back-to-back shutouts and will look to make it three in a row against the Flyers. Despite being used sparingly, the netminder is having an outstanding start to the year, as he's managed a 5-1-1 record with a 1.43 GAA. Despite the excellent numbers, Vasilevskiy remains a somewhat risky season-long option as long as he's stuck in a bit part behind No. 1 netminder Ben Bishop.
