Vasilevsky was the first goalie off Wednesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports, indicating he'll start in goal in the team's preseason home matchup against Florida.
Matt Tomkins started in Tampa Bay's preseason opener, while Jonas Johansson has been between the pipes during the team's last three matchups. However, Vasilevsky will make his first preseason start during Wednesday's exhibition game. Heading into the 2024-25 regular season, Vasilevsky is seven wins away from reaching 300 in his career.
