Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting Friday in Minnesota

Vasilevskiy will start between the pipes in Friday's road game against the Wild, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy struggled in his most recent start last Thursday against the Senators, surrendering four goals on 29 shots en route to a 5-2 loss. The Russian netminder will look to bounce back and pick up his 12th win of the season in a highly unfavorable road matchup with a Wild team that's 17-6-1 at home this season.
