Elliott starts Tuesday vs. the Blues.

Elliott allowed two goals on 16 shots after replacing Jake Allen in the Blues’ loss in New Your last Thursday. Jake Allen has taken over the starting job, but he started last night, so the Blues will go with Elliott tonight in Columbus. The Blue Jackets have won four of six, but Elliott needs a good outing if he’s going to play more games.

Girgensons (undisclosed) is not on the ice for the morning skate; questionable for Tuesday's game.

Girgensons missed Monday’s practice and was not on the ice for the Sabres’ morning skate which suggests that he will not be in the lineup tonight vs. the Stars. If Girgensons can’t go, look for Tim Schaller to get back into the lineup.

Girgensons (undisclosed) missed Monday's practice; questionable for Tuesday.

Girgensons missed Monday’s practice with an undisclosed injury and could miss Tuesday’s game vs. the Stars. Girgensons was hit hard on Saturday which is likely the reason for today’s absence. Monitor his status on Tuesday morning, but his two points in 17 games has him well off of the fantasy radar right now.

Vasilevskiy will start Monday vs. the Panthers.

Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 26 shots in the Lightning’s loss to the Sabres last Tuesday. Ben Bishop started the last two games, including a loss to the Panthers on Saturday. Vasilevskiy will get his shot at the Panthers tonight in Florida. He has a 2.37 GAA and .924 SV% in three starts but will have an extremely banged up lineup in front of him tonight.

Vasilevskiy stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Lightning’s 4-1 win in Buffalo last Thursday. Vasilevskiy has won his first two starts with the Lightning while stopping 62 of 66 shots (.939 SV%) that he’s faced. Tonight he is a must-start as he goes up against the Sabres again. If he continues to play well, he will continue to split time with Ben Bishop.

Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 35 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Hurricanes on Sunday. Vasilevskiy gave up a goal in the final second of the game, making the box score look worse than it should have. It was a great season debut for the Lightning’s No. 1A goaltender. Vasilevskiy is a must pick up and must-start tonight vs. the Sabres.

Vasilevskiy will make his season debut on Sunday.

Vasilevskiy won each of his two starts while posting a 1.00 GAA and .966 SV% during his conditioning stint with Syracuse (AHL).

The Lightning have assigned Andrei Vasilevskiy to Syracuse (AHL) on a conditioning stint.

Vasilevskiy returned to practice on Monday after missing the start of the season with a blood clot near his collar bone. He reportedly looked exceptional in practice which is why he has already been sent on a conditioning stint after just two days of practice. Vasilevskiy is expected to make his season debut with Syracuse tonight and should play another game on the stint, before returning to Tampa Bay next week.
