TAMPA, Fla. — Andrei Vasilevskiy was tested early and often Thursday night, facing an onslaught of shots from the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Lightning goaltender made a season-high 52 saves through 65 minutes of hockey and took the shootout to six rounds before Sebastian Aho’s goal sent Tampa Bay to a 4-3 loss.
In the five-minute overtime session, Vasilevskiy made six saves, staving off a two-minute, 4-on-3 Carolina power play along the way after Brayden Point was called for a questionable slashing penalty with 3:05 left in overtime.
