Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Faces competition from Peter Budaj

Vasilevskiy will be pushed for the starter's role by new arrival Peter Budaj.

Analysis:

Budaj will be asked to help Vasilevskiy make the transition to starter, but the latter has been rather porous of late. Budaj is 27-20-3 with a 2.12 GAA and .917 save percentage, and could steal time immediately. "We want somebody experienced playing with Vasilevskiy, but we also wanted to bring in somebody that can help us win games and get us into the playoffs," said general manager Steve Yzerman.
