Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Continues to struggle in loss to Canucks

Vasilevskiy saved just 20 of 23 shots during Friday's loss to Vancouver.

Analysis:

The 22-year-old netminder has lost each of his past three starts and allowed 17 goals through his past five games with an .863 save percentage and a 4.67 GAA. Vasilevskiy flashed his upside with a 6-1-1 record, .951 save percentage and 1.50 GAA to start the year, but his recent skid is discouraging. While Ben Bishop will probably see an even larger chunk of the starts in the immediate future, it isn't time to cut ties with Vasilevskiy.
