Tampa Bay Lightning News

Andrei Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate Tuesday vs. Florida.

Vasilevskiy went into "playoff mode" in his previous start, stopping 45 of 45 shots for his second shutout of the season as he blanked the Detroit Red Wings. The 28-year-old is on pace to lead the NHL in wins for a sixth-straight season due to his 28-14-2 record, 2.55 GAA and .919 SV%. He takes on the Florida Panthers, who have lost three of their last five games after a 3-1 defeat to Buffalo last game.

Erik Cernak will return from his two-game suspension Tuesday vs. Florida.

Vasilevskiy led the Lightning onto the ice for warmups.

Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 25 shots (.840 SV%) for his first loss in four starts as he was defeated by Vegas the Lightnings' previous contest. The 28-year-old has led the NHL in wins for each of the last five seasons and is back on pace to potentially do so again with his 26-14-1 record, 2.56 GAA and .918 SV%. He will take on the Anaheim Ducks, who are in the midst of a five-game losing skid after a 4-3 overtime loss to Florida last game.
