AndreiVasilevskiy

Andrei Vasilevskiy protects the Tampa Bay net as a goaltender, a role built on angles, crease positioning and rebound control. His 598 NHL regular-season appearances show how often the Lightning have trusted him with a heavy workload, and the Russian international also has to manage screens and second chances in front. At his best, the game slows down because he reads the release rather than reacting late. That patience keeps him square to shooters.

He is with the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL, and his regular-season body of work includes 370 wins and 42 shutouts. He has represented Russia internationally. Tampa Bay drafted him, and his club list also includes Salavat Yulaev Ufa and Tolpar Ufa in Russia. His career began before the Lightning drafted him.
