The recovery timeline for Andrei Vasilevskiy’s fractured left foot was revealed yesterday, and it isn’t quite as bad as many of us probably figured it was going to be. The Tampa Bay Lightning’s #1 goalie is expected to be out 4-6 weeks while recovering from the injury.
Vasilevskiy has already missed one game and at a minimum looks to be missing at least 13 more games if he returns exactly four weeks from the injury. The further end of the return timeline means missing a total of 19 games including last night’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
