The Tampa Bay Lightning won two Stanley Cups in the last three years, and it's largely due to their (usually) amazing goaltender, Andrei Vasilevskiy.

His statistics speak for themselves.

In 108 playoff games, he has a 2.38 GAA, a .921 save percentage, and 7 shutouts.

In 425 regular season games, he has a 2.52 GAA, a .919 save percentage, and 32 shutouts.

This year, in four postseason games, his GAA is 4.33, and his save percentage is .856.

During an interview after today's practice, he made a worrying statement that shocked many.

More seriously, he can't seem to find solutions to stop the Maple Leafs. He even praised his opponents:

Vasilevskiy on #LeafsForever: «I'll give them credit they've been pretty good. So we have to work harder and just take a deep breath and just play one game, and then we'll see where the game will take us.»

Then, he compared their play with last year's:

Vasilevskiy on #LeafsForever attacking him differently: «Last year they were trying to play more of a skill game. I'm not sure we've done something different or we just aren't doing as good a job as last year as a team in front, but I think last year they played more skill hockey.»

The situation is extremely worrying for Bolts' fans. He will have to step up if he wants to save the Lightning from an early exit from the playoffs.
