Andrei Vasilevskiy will start as Tampa Bay battles Florida
Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is starting in goal on Friday night.
Vasilevskiy returns for his fourth NHL season with Tampa Bay and his second consecutive one as the primary netminder. He finished 2016-17 with a .917 save percentage, 2.61 goals allowed average, and a 23-17-7 record.
Our models project Vasilevskiy for 2.4 goals allowed, 26.3 saves, and a 62.0% chance of winning on Friday for 19.6 FanDuel points, making him our top goalie option on the limited 3-game slate.
