Catastrophe for the Lightning: long-term absence for Andrei Vasilevskiy
This is a very big news, which has just arrived a few days before the start of the NHL season.
The Tampa Bay Lightning announces that goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy has undergone back surgery! He is going to miss months of activities. (around 10 weeks)
Ouch. This is huge.
Julien BriseBois will therefore have to go into 'solutions' mode to bring an additional goaltender to his lineup.
With Cayden Primeau who will probably be put on waivers by the Montreal Canadiens, he could be a short-term solution for them.
What a huge misfortune that has just befallen Tampa Bay.
