Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting again Thursday

Vasilevskiy was named the starting goaltender for the second consecutive game and will come up against the Panthers on Thursday, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Analysis:

The 22-year-old is coming off the back of a strong road win against Chicago in which he stopped 34 of 36 shots. After going 0-4-0 with a 5.20 GAA from Jan. 3-8, Vasilevskiy has allowed only two goals in each of his last three starts, so he seems to be getting hot. Combine Vasilevskiy's recent play with the fact that the Panthers are 27th in scoring, and he's an appealing fantasy option for Thursday's slate.
