Andrei Vasilevskiy, the goaltender for the Tampa Bay Lightning, was expected to make his season debut during the team's upcoming road trip. He was confirmed to start by Jon Cooper against the Carolina Hurricanes. Vasilevskiy's return was highly anticipated as he is considered a cornerstone of the organization. He made his season debut in a game against the Hurricanes and won.
Jonas Johansson was the only goalie on the ice for morning skate, so I’d expect Andrei Vasilevskiy to start for the #Bolts tonight.
