Athletistic/Hockey. The authoritative North American portal The Hockey News presented the three best players of the last week of NHL games. The first star of the last seven days was Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevsky.
“Last week, Vasilevsky looked like his former top hockey player. Andrei won all three of his games and his save percentage was an incredible 94.9% with a safety factor of 1.31 and a clean sheet. “
Now at his best, Vasilevskiy is among the top five goaltenders in the NHL, even though Tampa’s defense has been hit hard by salary cap restrictions. The Russian shows that he is still in his prime and that he can become a driving force for his team,” explained The Hockey News.
Andrei Vasilevsky missed the start of this season due to back surgery. The 29-year-old Russian is a two-time Stanley Cup winner, winner of the Vizina vote (award for the best goaltender of the NHL season), and also MVP of the playoffs for the 2020/2021 season.
Reporters recognized Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart as the second star of the week and San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl as the third.
