Andrei Vasilevskiy has been reassigned to AHL Syracuse.

Vasilevskiy has been reassigned to AHL Syracuse.

Analysis:

Coach Jon Cooper indicated Friday morning that the team may send him to the AHL at some point to get him some extra playing time, and he didn't waste any time. The Lightning will continue to roll with Ben Bishop as the primary netminder, but Kristers Gudlevskis has been recalled to take Vasilevskiy's place as the backup for the time being. The move should allow the youngster to sharpen his game a bit more, but the Bolts will likely recall him later in the campaign.
