Tampa Bay Lightning News

Vasilevskiy stopped 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) and snapped a two-game losing streak with a victory over New Jersey in his last start. The 28-year-old hit the 30-win mark for a sixth-straight season, as he has a 30-17-4 record, 2.67 GAA and .914 SV%. He takes on the New Jersey Devils, who snapped a three-game winning streak with a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay last game.

Sogaard allowed five goals on 32 shots (.844 SV%) for his second straight defeat as he was downed by the Edmonton Oilers in his last start. The 22-year-old will be relied upon heavily through the final month of hockey and will hope to improve his 5-3-1 record, 3.28 GAA and .888 SV%. He will face the Colorado Avalanche, who are coming off a tight 2-1 victory over Toronto on Wednesday.

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.

Cirelli left Sunday's game vs. the Jets and did not return due to a lower-body injury. Head coach Jon Cooper did not have an update on Cirelli post-game, so it's unclear if he travelled with the team to New Jersey.

Hedman missed Tampa Bay's previous game due to an undisclosed injury and will be a game-time decision Thursday as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights. The 32-year-old is having a down year by his standards, with his six goals, 36 assists, 144 SOG, 26 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 60 games this season.

Carlson has not played since December 23rd and does not have a timetable for his return. Getting back on the ice on Wednesday was the next step for the 33-year-old, who may not play again this season. Depending on where the Capitals are situated in the playoff race, will likely determine whether or not Carlson suits up again.

Vasilevskiy allowed six goals on 38 shots (.842 SV%) for his third-straight loss as he was rocked by the Carolina Hurricanes in his last start. The 28-year-old is in contention for leading the NHL in wins for a sixth-straight season with his 28-16-3 record, 2.68 GAA and .915 SV%. He takes on the Philadelphia Flyers, who just snapped a four-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over Detroit last game.

Cernak has missed the Lightnings' previous two games due to a lower-body injury and will return to Tampa Bay's lineup Tuesday vs. Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has a goal, 11 points, 61 SOG and 42 PIMs through 53 games played before the injury.

Hedman left the Lightnings' previous game vs. Carolina after just 7:17 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will miss Tuesday's game as he is day-to-day with the injury. It is a massive loss for the Lightning as the 32-year-old had six goals, 42 points, 144 SOG, 26 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 60 games prior to the injury.
