Broken foot puts Lightning’s Vasilevskiy on shelf

NHL

The Tampa Bay Lightning will be without goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy for four to six weeks after he fractured his left foot in practice earlier this week.

It’s a significant loss for the Atlantic-leading Lightning. Vasilevskiy, 24, is 9-3-1 with a 2.30 goals-against average in 13 games this season.

Louis Domingue will step into the starting role for Tampa Bay. He made 28 saves during the team’s 4-3 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.
