YouTube Tuesday: Vasilevskiy denies the backdoor attempt

Andrei Vasilevskiy took on the New Jersey Devils in his season debut. The game got off to a bit of a rough start for Tampa and Vasilevskiy as he was victimized by two deflection goals in the first period. There was nothing he could do on either goal, but the rest of the game he was spectacular. He battled hard to keep the Devils at two goals and did that through the entire game.

After the first goal was scored, he had this amazing save. Valtteri Filppula gave the puck up in the neutral zone. Former Bolt (technically) Kyle Quincey intercepted the puck and moved into the zone.
