Vaslievskiy Falls to Detroit
Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 33 of 35 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Red Wings on Sunday. Vasilevskiy was solid Sunday, allowing just two goals while facing his second-highest shot total this season. However, the Lightning offense was stymied by Alex Lyon and the Red Wings, sticking Vasilevskiy with the 2-1 defeat. The loss stopped the 29-year-old netminder’s winning streak at four as he falls to 13-10-0 with a .901 save percentage and 2.83 GAA this season. Vasilevskiy will look to bounce back in his next outing, likely to come Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Ersson Fades Late vs. Senators
Samuel Ersson stopped 29 of 33 shots in Sunday’s 5-3 loss to the Senators. Ottawa’s final goal was scored into an empty net. The Flyers were up 3-1 midway through the second period, but Ersson couldn’t make the lead hold up, although he didn’t get much help from his defense. It’s the first time since late October that the 24-year-old netminder has given up more than three goals in an outing, and through six appearances in January, he’s 3-1-1 with a .928 save percentage.
