Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Will start Tuesday

Vasilevskiy will defend the cage Tuesday against the Senators, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Coach Jon Cooper is attempting to avoid using the youngster more than every 2-3 days, so he will logically turn to Peter Budaj for the first game of a back-to-back set Monday before going with Vasilevskiy again Tuesday. The 22-year-old netminder has played extremely well of late, allowing just five goals combined in his last four starts.
