Andrei Vasilevskiy, Lightning Hold off Hurricanes to Win Game 2, Take 2-0 Series Lead

Andrei Vasilevskiy has turned the Carolina Hurricanes into a gentle breeze.

The star goalie made 31 saves on 32 shots in Tuesday's Game 2, again stymying the Hurricanes en route to a 2-1 Lightning victory and a 2-0 series lead for the defending champions. Alex Killorn and Anthony Cirelli each scored for Tampa.

Andrei Svechnikov's goal with just 1:30 remaining in the game made for a dramatic finish, but the Lightning held on for the win.

Vasilevskiy was pretty darn good in Tampa's Game 1 win, too, saving 37 of Carolina's 38 shots in the 2-1 win.
