Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Not starting Wednesday
Vasilevskiy will not start Wednesday's home game versus the Rangers as previously expected, Lightning reporter Gabby Shirley reports.
Vasilevskiy appeared to be the starter after he was the first goalie off the ice at Wednesday's morning skate, but the Lightning have seemingly changed their plans. With Jonas Johansson (undisclosed) unavailable, Vasilevskiy will be Brandon Halverson's backup in Tampa Bay's regular-season finale.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Rings up 39th win of season
Vasilevskiy made 27 saves on 30 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Detroit on Monday.
The Big Cat deserves a rest Wednesday against the Rangers to prep for the postseason, but Jonas Johansson (undisclosed) sat out Monday's game. That meant the Lightning had to roll with their Emergency Back Up Goalie (EBUG) in the number two spot. Brandon Halverson, who is 24-11-6 with six shutouts, 2.39 GAA and .906 save percentage with AHL Syracuse this season could get the call-up for Wednesday. The win was Vasilevskiy's 39th of the season. It's the third time in his career that he's hit exactly 39 wins and fourth time that he's delivered at least that many wins.

Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Losing end of playoff-style game
Vasilevskiy made 19 saves in a 2-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
It was a playoff-style game, and it could be a preview of a Round One match-up come the postseason. Vasilevskiy is no longer in sole possession of the win title for NHL goalies -- Karel Vejmelka of Utah sits in a tie with Vasy with 37 wins. He may get a rest before season's end so he's ready for the playoffs, but the win title probably isn't his biggest worry. Vasilevskiy's overall stats sit no worse than third overall in any big category.

Vasilevskiy made 21 saves in a 3-1 win over Boston on Saturday.
The game was tight; it was tied until the 14:29 mark of the third period. It was Vasilevskiy's league-leading 37th win. The game could be a preview of the first round of the postseason. Boston currently sits in the first wild-card spot. Vasilevskiy could use a rest heading into the postseason, but the team is just two points ahead of the Sabres for the top spot in the Atlantic. He may have to rely on the rest he got during the Olympic break as the team works to make sure they get the best matchup come playoff time.
