Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 37 shots in the Lightning’s shootout win in Boston on Thursday. Vasilevskiy has won three straight while allowing just seven goals on 99 shots (.929 SV%). Overall, he has won four of his first five outings and is a great option against an Avalanche team on the second leg of a back-to-back with a goalie making his fourth career NHL start.

Vasilevskiy stopped 33 of 34 shots in the Lightning’s win in Montreal on Tuesday. It was Vasilevskiy’s best outing of the young season and moved him to 3-1-0 with a 2.53 GAA and .921 SV% in four starts. Tonight he faces the Bruins in an Atlantic Division clash. He only faced Boston once last season (a 5-4 win) but they provide a stiff test, even without David Krejci on the second line.

Paul had one goal and three assists in three games with Belleville (AHL) before being recalled on Monday. Paul will draw-in on the Senators' fourth line with Jordan Szwarz and Scott Sabourin and has eight points (4G / 4A) in 56 career NHL games.

Vasilevskiy surrendered three goals on 28 shots in the Lightning’s win in Toronto last Thursday. Curtis McElhinney has started two of the last three games, so there’s no surprise that they will go with Vasilevskiy in Montreal. The 25-year-old has won two of his first three starts and was 3-0-0 with a 2.00 GAA, .935 SV% and one shutout vs. the Canadiens last season.

Carter Hart started the first three games of the season but Elliott will make his season debut in Calgary, the front-end of a west coast back-to-back. The former Flames’ netminder was 11-11-1 with a 2.96 GAA and .907 SV% in 26 appearances last season. Calgary’s offence hasn’t been great through six games but it’s still not a very good streaming matchup for Elliott.

Paul has had a strong start to the season, scoring one goal with three assists in three AHL games. The 24-year-old is a candidate to draw into the lineup on Monday afternoon and comes up with eight points (4G / 4A) in 56 career NHL games.

Vasilevskiy gave up four goals on 28 shots in the Lightning’s loss in Florida last Saturday. Curtis McElhinney made his season debut on Sunday, so Vasilevskiy comes into Thursday’s game very well-rested. The 25-year-old was 16-4-2 with a 2.48 GAA, .923 SV% and three shutouts on the road last year and was 3-1-0 with a 1.77 GAA and .949 SV% vs. the Maple Leafs.

Sheary will miss a couple of weeks with an upper-body injury that it is believed he suffered late in Monday’s overtime loss. Evan Rodrigues will make his season debut replacing Sheary on Wednesday and will likely be his permanent replacement for the next couple of weeks.

Archibald was on the ice for the pre-game skate but was moved to IR to create a spot on the roster to activate Riley Sheahan (concussion). His move to IR is retroactive so he is eligible to return Thursday in New Jersey.

Smith had one goal and four PIMS during 9:10 ATOI in his first three games with the Lightning. This roster move suggests that Brayden Point (hip) is ready to make his season debut on Thursday.

Sheary played a season-high 12:05 TOI on Monday night but is questionable for Wednesday’s game due to an upper-body injury. The Sabres called him day-to-day, so monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.

Archibald missed Saturday’s game vs. the Kings due to illness and is expected to miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Markus Granlund will remain in the Oilers lineup with Archibald out.

Vasilevskiy stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Lightning’s 5-2 win over the Panthers on Thursday. It was just another day at the office for the 25-year-old net minder, who was tied for sixth in the NHL in SV% (.925) last season. Vasilevskiy is 5-1-0 against the Panthers over his last six starts, so roll him out with confidence tonight.

Point missed the season opener as he recovers from offseason hip surgery and head coach Jon Cooper ruled him out for both games this weekend. Point is expected to be back soon, so monitor his status as the Lightning head into their game in Toronto next Thursday.
