The Tampa Bay Lightning has gotten off to a heck of a start this season. In the six games the Lightning have played so far this season, they only have one recorded loss. Unfortunately, this loss came against their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers, on October 7. In any case, one hiccup along the way isn’t really that bad.
One of the key components to the Lightning’s success has been a combination of the Lightning defense and their goaltender, Andrei Vasilevskiy. While Vasy has been doing to good job between the pipes, there comes a point in time when even the best goaltenders need a break.
