The Lightning recalled Vasilevskiy from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Vasilevskiy was brought up to provide some insurance in case Ben Bishop, who exited Monday's game with a lower-body injury, is unable to play Tuesday night. Vasilevskiy is the Lightning's goalie of the future, but if Bishop misses any time due to his injury, Evgeni Nabokov would likely get the first shot to replace him.
