Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy has been announced as the replacement player for Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price in the NHL All-Star Game. It is quite fitting for the player that was sometimes referred to as the “Russian Carey Price” as a prospect to replace one of the best goaltenders of the past decade in the All-Star Game.
Vasilevskiy will join teammates Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos in San Jose on January 25-26 for the All-Star Game weekend festivities.
