Jonas Johansson Starting For Lightning Tuesday
1 year agoTampa Bay Lightning goaltender Jonas Johansson has been confirmed as the starter for Tuesday's season opener against Nashville. Tampa's No. 1 Andrei Vasilevskiy (backs) begins the campaign on Injured Reserve, and Johansson will be tasked with holding the fort down in his absence. The 28-year-old did it very well in preseason, posting two shutouts in three appearances. It's a matchup against a team that has lost four of its last five trips to Tampa and scored only 2.71 goals per game last season, so Johansson has a great chance to make a winning debut with the Lightning.
