Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Picks up unusual win against Hawks

Vasilevskiy saved 25 of 29 shots during Monday's overtime win against Chicago, but he was pulled during the first period before returning to start the second frame.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on eight shots in the opening period, but he turned away 20 of 21 shots after returning to the game. While it was an impressive rebound, it was also the 22-year-old Russian's fourth time in five games allowing four goals. Still, his active 8-3-1 run with a .929 save percentage and 2.32 GAA is impressive, and Vasilevskiy remains a solid start against the majority of opponents.
