Goaltenders
Andrei Vasilevskiy
The Lightning and Hurricanes are playing their third and final regular season matchup. The difference tonight is that Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will be in net.
Carolina is leading the league in shot attempts, so he should see more than his fair share of action tonight. Each of these two teams have recorded shutouts against each other already this season.
The Canes have been extremely consistent at home, posting a 6-1 record and allowing just 1.79 GA/60. On Wednesday, Jon Cooper emphasized the importance of the Bolts not letting up on defense with Vasilevskiy back in net. There will be no mindset of Vasy bailing them out.
Tonight is the first of three on the road, followed by back-to-back games in Colorado on Monday and Arizona on Tuesday.
