Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Defending cage against Rangers

Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes for Monday's matchup against the Rangers, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy is undefeated since the team traded away Ben Bishop and turned the reins over to him full-time. The netminder is living up to the faith the organization showed him by posting a .951 save percentage and 1.61 GAA in those three outings. Monday's contest will certainly test the 22-year-old as he squares off against the league's fourth-ranked offense (3.18 goals per game on average).
