State of the Crease: A Look at the Lightning’s goaltending depth

Unlike a lot of teams in the NHL, the Tampa Bay Lightning can be fairly confident in their goaltending situation. For the last few years, and hopefully for the next few, they can write Andrei Vasilevskiy’s name in for 75% of their games and then go on to worry about something else. While it’s comforting for fans at the NHL level, it does make things a little more confusing further down in the organization.

The Lightning depth chart at goaltender is about as deep as a plastic kiddie pool. After Vasilevskiy it’s Hugo Alnefelt and then a bunch of guys.
