3 years agoTampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will make his second appearance of the season on Thursday, meeting the Detroit Red Wings, a team he's never lost to. The 2021 Conn Smyth Trophy winner is 12-0-0 for his career in the matchup, boasting a 1.77 goals-against average with a .938 save percentage. Vasilevskiy started the season with a 6-2 loss against Pittsburgh, but he actually wasn't too bad in the game, stopping 29 of 32 shots. Detroit is going with summer signing Alex Nedeljkovic, who was outstanding for Carolina last season with a 15-5-3 record. He saved some of his best for the Lightning, going 2-1-0 against them with a 1.02 goals-against average, a .962 save percentage and one shutout.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
