Gudlevskis went 15-10-4 with a 2.65 GAA and .897 SV% in 37 games as the Syracuse Crunch (AHL) starter in 2016-17. Gudlevskis has had some strong performances while representing Latvia internationally, but has not posted a SV% above .907 in single AHL season. Gudlevskis will likely report to Bridgeport (AHL) to start 2017-18.

Arguably, Gudlevskis, 23, is good enough to be at the NHL level, but in Tampa Bay he is the third best option, which limits him to the AHL level. He was 16-12-8 with a 2.83 GAA and .907 SV% in 41 games with Syracuse last season and the only way he makes it to the NHL this year is as an injury replacement or if the Lightning end up trading Ben Bishop.

Gudlevskis, 23, has been recalled to serves as the Lightning’s third goalie because the Syracuse Crunch’s season is over. Gudlevskis was 16-12-8 with a 2.83 GAA and .907 SV% in 41 games with Syracuse.

Gudlevskis, 23, was 25-14-4 with a 2.81 GAA and .900 SV% in 46 games with Syracuse last season and has gone 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .930 SV% in two starts this season. With Ben Bishop starting the first eight games of the season and Kevin Poulin on waivers, Gudlevskis will start his second career NHL game tonight.

Gudlevskis, 23, has gone 2-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA and .930 SV% in two starts with Syracuse. With Ben Bishop starting the first wight games, including last night, Gudlevskis could make his season debut tonight vs. the Blackhawks.

Gudlevskis appeared to have the inside track to be Ben Bishop’s backup to start the season after Andrei Vasilevskiy got injured. However, after the Lightning claimed Kevin Poulin off of waivers, it became clear Gudlevskis was heading back to the AHL. He had a 3.33 GAA and .884 SV% in two preseason games.

Gudlevskis will make his NHL debut tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. He has gone 18-11-4 with a 2.68 GAA and .901 SV% with Syracuse this season. The 21 year-old was spectacular in the Olympics and has the look of another Lightning goaltender with a bright future.

With Ben Bishop out with a wrist injury, Gudlevskis has been recalled and will serve as Anders Lindback's backup on Thursday. He has gone 18-11-4 with a 2.68 GAA and .901 SV%. You may remember the 21-year-old's name after his incredible night in goal vs. Team Canada in Sochi.

After a spectacular performance in the Olympics, Gudlevskis did not get into a game with the Lightning during Anders Lindback's conditioning stint. He returns to the AHL where he is 11-8-2 with 2.69 GAA and .900 SV%.

They need him as an insurance policy because backup netminder Anders Lindback hasn’t been cleared to play after sustaining an ankle injury. Gudlevskis would likely serve as Ben Bishop's back-up, but his unreal 55 save performance vs. Team Canada in Sochi, shows he can handle the NHL.

Gudlevskis gave up five goals on 30 shots in a 5-3 loss to Sweden in his Olympic debut. After Edgars Masalskis made 32 saves on Tuesday, it is surprising to see Latvia give the start to the inexperienced Gudlevskis. It will be a tough task for the Latvian's to upset Canada and advance to the semi-finals.

Gudlevskis, 21, will make his Olympics debut today vs. Sweden. He is 11-8-2 with a 2.69 GAA and .900 SV% with the Tampa Bay Lightning's AHL affiliate Syracuse Crunch. He will have a tough matchup against the 2-0 Swedes.
