Andrei Vasilevskiy Takes Loss Against Boston
7 years agoTampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 27 shots and did not receive any support from his offense, as Tampa was shut out by the Boston Bruins 3-0 on Saturday. Vasilevskiy has been looking more and more human in his last five games, posting a 4.40 goals-against average and losing his last two starts. In his first year as Tampa’s clear No. 1, this season has been a test of Vasilevskiy’s endurance. The 23-year-old has never started more than 47 games in a season, and has already appeared in 58 so far this year. With 11 games remaining in the season and Vasilevskiy starting to show signs of fatigue, look for Tampa to turn to their backup goaltenders Peter Budaj or Louis Domingue for support down the stretch. The Bolts return to action on Sunday against the Edmonton Oilers, with Budaj expected to start.
