Tampa Bay Lightning News

Tampa Bay will likely turn to Vasilevskiy between the pipes for a fourth straight game on Thursday night. The Vezina-winning netminder hasn't played to expectations this season and has allowed three or more goals in seven of his last eight starts (3-4-1) but saved 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) in his last outing, a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning are -148 home favourites against a Calgary Flames squad that has recently traded two of their opening-night top-four defenders, Chris Tanev and Noah Hanifin.

Sogaard will make a second consecutive start for the Senators when they travel to Anaheim to take on the Ducks on Wednesday. Sogaard was unfortunate to pick up the loss his last time out, stopping 36 of the 39 shots he faced as the Senators fell to the Flyers by a score of 4-2. He owns an underwhelming .857 SV% across five appearances with the Senators this season, but luckily for Sogaard, he's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Wednesday. The Senators are -200 favourites against a depleted Ducks' team.

Holmberg will take a seat on Wednesday as Noah Gregor will draw into the lineup. Holmberg has three goals and eight assists in 35 games this season.

Harkins played 7:07 time-on-ice in Sunday's crushing 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers but was a game-time decision after being evaluated on Monday. The 26-year-old Harkins has four points (0G / 4A) in 42 games this season and was unsuccessful on a penalty shot attempt in the loss.

Vasilevskiy will return to the crease on Thursday night for his 10th start in the last 11 games for the Lightning. Vasilevskiy has struggled immensely lately, allowing four or more goals in four of his last five outings (1-4-0), including allowing four goals on 29 shots (.862 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. That said, Tampa Bay enters action as a -157 home favourite against the Buffalo Sabres.

Vasilevskiy took a seat after seven straight starts for Tampa Bay's previous game vs. New Jersey but will return to the crease on Tuesday in Pennsylvania. The 29-year-old is having the worst statistical season of his historic 10-year career, with his 20-14-0 record, 2.95 GAA and .897 SV%. He will look to improve on his season numbers Tuesday as he takes on Philadelphia, who have lost four of their last five contests and have the last placed powerplay in the NHL at 13.2%.
