Vasilevskiy nets NHL-leading sixth shutout as Lightning defeat Maple Leafs
TORONTO — Andrei Vasilevskiy showed the Toronto Maple Leafs why he’s one of the NHL’s most dominant goaltenders this season.
Vasilevskiy stopped 30 shots for his NHL-best sixth shutout of the season as the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Maple Leafs 2-0 on Tuesday night.
The Russian goaltender earned his league-leading 26th win for the Lightning (29-8-2) as Cedrick Paquette and Alex Killorn had the goals at the Air Canada Centre.
“It feels good,” Vasilevskiy said. “Sometimes (our defence) is able to help me and sometimes I’m able to help them.”
