Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Pegged to start Tuesday

Vasilevskiy will work between the pipes as Tuesday's road starter against the Blackhawks, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

The Russian was at work Saturday for a six-save relief outing of a struggling Ben Bishop, but that cameo was preceded by a stretch in which Vasilevskiy took six straight losses with a hideous .873 save mark. He'll be in tough against a Blackhawks team locked in a battle with the Wild for the Central Division lead.
