Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Defending net against Coyotes

Vasilevskiy will tend the twine for Tuesday night's home game against the Coyotes, the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

While Vasilevskiy definitely had a rough time in his last two starts, allowing four goals in each, it's worth noting that he had to face pucks from two of the league's top six offenses in the form of Washington (3.20 goals per game) and Toronto (3.03 goals per game). He'll have a significantly easier matchup on paper Tuesday, seeing shots from an Arizona squad that's averaging just 2.23 goals per game on the road.
