Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Gets starting nod for Thursday's tilt

Vasilevskiy will start between the pipes in Thursday's home game against the Wild, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy has been razor-sharp lately, compiling a 3-0-1 record while maintaining an excellent 1.44 GAA and .956 save percentage over his last four appearances. The Russian backstop will look to keep rolling and pick up his 15th win of the campaign in a highly unfavorable home matchup with a dangerous Minnesota club that's averaging an impressive 3.23 goals per game on the road this season, first in the NHL.
