Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Wins fifth game in last six starts

Vasilevskiy yielded two goals on 34 shots in a 3-2 victory over the Panthers on Saturday.

Analysis:

Since Tampa Bay traded Ben Bishop and turned to Vasilevskiy to be the team's No. 1 netminder, the 22-year-old is 5-0-1 with a .956 save percentage and 1.46 GAA over six games. Peter Budaj, who Tampa Bay acquired for Bishop, is more than just a serviceable backup, but he doesn't figure to be a No. 1, especially with Vasilevskiy playing this well. Owners should ride the Russian's hot streak.
