Lightning's Brandon Halverson: Starting in regular-season finale

Halverson will start at home versus the Rangers on Wednesday, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.

Analysis:

Halverson will get the nod after Andrei Vasilevskiy was initially expected to start. This is unlikely to be an injury-related issue -- Halverson is up with the team because Jonas Johansson (undisclosed) is unavailable. Halverson made a brief relief appearance Dec. 13 versus the Islanders but has otherwise spent the bulk of the campaign in the AHL.
