Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Leads Lightning onto ice

Rotowire• ·

Vasilevskiy will defend the home crease in Monday's clash against the Flyers, per Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Analysis:

After losing on Opening Night to the Rangers, Vasilevskiy bounced back in his most recent outing, which was a 20-save effort in Saturday's 3-1 win over Washington. The 32-year-old netminder currently holds a 1-1-0 record, a 2.59 GAA and an .889 save percentage across 45 shots on net between his two outings. However, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner has a favorable matchup Monday against the Flyers, who have lost all three of their games to begin the year. Vasilevskiy is poised to be an elite fantasy option Monday and beyond.
