Andrei Vasilevskiy will tend the twine Saturday against Florida

Vasilevskiy will tend the twine Saturday against Florida, Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

It is a rare start in goal for Vasilevskiy who has seen action in just five games since mid-February behind regular netminder Ben Bishop. The 21-year-old has been a decent backup, as he has logged a .915 save percentage in route to a 11-7-0 record including one shutout. The Panthers are a tough matchup for any goalie considering they've netted at least two goals in each of their last nine contests.
