Athletistic/Hockey. On the night of December 5, the Tampa Bay Lightning confidently defeated the Dallas Stars (4:0) in a home match of the NHL regular season. The main hero of the meeting was Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevsky.
The 29-year-old Russian managed to catch all 25 shots aimed at his goal, keeping his goal intact for the first time this season. Vasilevsky recorded the 33rd shutout of his career in regular NHL championships. He now ranks sixth among Russian goalkeepers in this indicator. Andrey approached Ilya Bryzgalovy (34 years old), who had already finished his career.
The leader in shutouts among Russians is Evgeniy Nabokov (59). Second place is occupied by another Tampa legend, Nikolai Khabibulin (46 years old). Following him is current New York Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov, and the top 4 is completed by Florida Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky (40).
