Expected to Start at Home Against Seattle

Andrei Vasilevskiy is slated to be the starting goaltender for the Tampa Bay Lightning as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday. Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports that the perennial All-Star will defend the home net in this inter-conference battle. Vasilevskiy continues to be the workhorse for Tampa Bay, and his presence in goal provides the Lightning with a significant advantage as they look to secure two points against a visiting Seattle Kraken squad tonight in Tampa.
