Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Lightning's win over the Rangers on Thursday. Vaislevksiy has won two in a row and enters play at 7-4-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .902 SV% on the season. Those are very un-Vasilevskiy-like but he appears to be settling into a groove. Saturday's matchup comes against a Jets team that is struggling to find offence consistently, so make sure Vasilevskiy is active in all formats.

The Lightning have signed Andrei Vasilevskiy to an eight-year contract extension worth $76.0 million ($9.5M AAV).

Vasilevskiy had an excellent 2019 regular season, leading the NHL in wins (39), fourth in shutouts (6), sixth in SV% (.925) and ninth in GAA (2.40). Despite having a forgettable postseason, Vasilevskiy earned a much-deserved raise, becoming the third highest-paid netminder in the NHL. He should absolutely be one of the first goalies drafted this fall (if not the first).
