Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Prepping to take on Sabres

Vasilevskiy will tend twine Saturday as the road starter versus the Sabres.

Analysis:

The Russian's confidence should be at an all-time high since he's coming off back-to-back wins following his appointment as the No. 1 backstop in Tampa Bay and Ben Bishop no longer hogging the net. Buffalo isn't a formidable opponent as a team ranked 23rd in the league in home scoring at 2.53 goals per game, but don't expect the Sabres to be stagnant despite their playoff chances sinking towards zero.
