Overall, he has gone 4-2-2 with a 2.36 GAA and .909 SV% this season and tonight will be his third home start. Tonight he faces a Flyers team that has gone 4-2-0 while averaging 3.00 goals per game in their last six.

Vasilevskiy will start Sunday in Los Angeles.

Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on eight shots after replacing the injured Ben Bishop in the Lightning’s win last night.

Elliott will get back in goal on Friday vs. the Islanders.

Elliott stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Jake Allen in the Blues loss to the Panthers on Tuesday. Elliott has fallen behind Allen on the depth chart, but he’s played well in his limited action this season—he is 4-2-1 with a 2.59 GAA and .903 SV% in seven starts this season. He had a tough outing against the Islanders earlier in the year. He allowed three goals on 22 shots in a 3-2 loss back in October.

Elliott starts Tuesday vs. the Blues.

Elliott allowed two goals on 16 shots after replacing Jake Allen in the Blues’ loss in New Your last Thursday. Jake Allen has taken over the starting job, but he started last night, so the Blues will go with Elliott tonight in Columbus. The Blue Jackets have won four of six, but Elliott needs a good outing if he’s going to play more games.

Girgensons (undisclosed) is not on the ice for the morning skate; questionable for Tuesday's game.

Girgensons missed Monday’s practice and was not on the ice for the Sabres’ morning skate which suggests that he will not be in the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. If Girgensons can’t go, look for Tim Schaller to get back into the lineup.

Girgensons (undisclosed) missed Monday's practice; questionable for Tuesday.

Girgensons missed Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury and could miss Tuesday’s game vs. the Stars. Girgensons was hit hard on Saturday which is likely the reason for today’s absence. Monitor his status on Tuesday morning, but his two points in 17 games has him well off of the fantasy radar right now.

Vasilevskiy will start Monday vs. the Panthers.

Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 26 shots in the Lightning’s loss to the Sabres last Tuesday. Ben Bishop started the last two games, including a loss to the Panthers on Saturday. Vasilevskiy will get his shot at the Panthers tonight in Florida. He has a 2.37 GAA and .924 SV% in three starts but will have an extremely banged up lineup in front of him tonight.

Vasilevskiy will start on Tuesday vs. Buffalo.

Vasilevskiy stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Lightning’s 4-1 win in Buffalo last Thursday. Vasilevskiy has won his first two starts with the Lightning while stopping 62 of 66 shots (.939 SV%) that he’s faced. Tonight he is a must-start as he goes up against the Sabres again. If he continues to play well, he will continue to split time with Ben Bishop.

Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 35 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Hurricanes on Sunday.

Vasilevskiy is a must pick up and must-start tonight vs. the Sabres.
