Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Starting in goal Thursday

Vasilevskiy will defend the net Thursday against the Red Wings in Detroit, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Vasilevskiy enters the matchup in the midst of a dominant stretch between the pipes, having posted a 9-1-0 record with a 1.47 GAA and a .953 save percentage over his last 10 games. He should have a good opportunity to continue the strong stretch against a Red Wings club sporting a minus-15 goal differential over 35 home games this season.
