Andrei Vasilevskiy Plays Well In Season Opener
6 years agoTampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy gave up his first goal of the season with only the fourth shot he faced against the Panthers on Saturday, but he still ended up having a superb game, recording 42 saves in a 2-1 shootout win. He finished with a .977 save percentage and didn't allow a single goal during the shootout. The Russian will be extremely grateful to Anthony Cirelli, as his third-period goal took the game past regulation and otherwise Vasilevskiy's immense efforts would've been in vain. Boasting an 86-49-11 career record, the 24-year-old goalie is closing in on his 100th NHL win.
