Vasilevskiy is Fantasy's unquestioned No.1 goalie due to his workload and the quality the team in front of him. He has led the NHL in wins each of the last three seasons while ranking eighth in GAA (2.53) and fifth in SV% (.921). On opening night he draws a tremendous matchup vs. a Blackhawks team that is without both Jonathan Toews and Kirby Dach.

Vasilevskiy stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Lightning’s 2-1 win over the Islanders in Game 2. Vasilevskiy is red-hot at the moment, having won six in a row while stopping 168 of the 178 shots (.944 SV%) that he’s faced. Even without Brayden Point and Alex Killorn, the Lightning are still favourites in tonight’s game, making Vasilevskiy and solid DFS play.

Vasilevskiy went 2-1 while allowing seven goals on 89 shots (.921 SV%) in the Lightning's three round-robin games. It was a strong start to the restart for Vasilevskiy, who will be looking for revenge after playing poorly in last year's four-game sweep by Columbus--he allowed 15 goals on 104 shots (.856 SV%) in that series.
