Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes Thursday night to start the series against the New Jersey Devils. Vasilevskiy’s recent struggles are well-documented and his .886 save percentage over the last month certainly raises concerns heading into the playoffs. Despite posting a .920 save percentage for the year, it appears that playing in a career-high 65 games has worn on the young netminder, and it is fair to question how much he has left in the tank. However, Vasilevskiy has won his last two starts and has an offense in front of him that should be capable of carrying the team to a win on any given night. Tampa Bay are the favorites Thursday and have won 29 of their 41 home games this season, so while Vasilevskiy may not inspire confidence with his play as of late, he is a good bet to earn the win.--Russ Ivanac - RotoBaller
