Athletistic / Hockey Daily Faceoff reporter Matt Larkin has shared his thoughts on Russian “Tampa Bay Lightning” goaltender Andrey Vasilevsky.

“The king of all goalkeepers due to his ability to demonstrate quality play under high loads. However, now he doesn’t seem to be ahead of everyone as much as he was a year ago. Nevertheless , he continues to be a confident leader among goaltenders,” Larkin wrote.

Last season, Vasilevsky played in 63 regular-season NHL games, scoring 39 wins with a 91.6 percent save rate and a 2.49 safety factor. Also, thanks to Russia’s 14 wins in 23 playoff games.
