Tampa Bay Lightning News

Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) for his fourth defeat in five games as he took the loss vs. Winnipeg in his previous start. The 28-year-old has been strong, but not his usual dominant self this season, yet still is second in the NHL in wins due to his 29-17-4 record, 2.70 GAA and .914 SV%. He will take on the New Jersey Devils, who have won four of their last five games and are fourth in the NHL in both goals per game (3.53) and shots per game (34.5).

Cirelli left Sunday's game vs. the Jets and did not return due to a lower-body injury. He will return to the Lightning lineup after being considered a game-time decision earlier in the day.
