Vasilevskiy will start against the Red Wings on Friday.

The Lightning will turn to their franchise netminder in a pivotal game on Friday in their push for the Atlantic Division crown. Vasilevskiy took the loss in his last start, allowing four goals on 31 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to the division-leading Maple Leafs on Wednesday. The former Vezina Trophy winner is enjoying another successful season in Tampa Bay, posting a 37-20-4 record and a .921 SV%. He's a great bet to get back in the win column on Friday as the Lightning enter action at -300 on the money line.
