Andrei Vasilevskiy survives a wild sequence at an extreme disadvantage

Just when you think you've seen it all when it comes to Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, he goes out and does something wild to continuously impress.

The reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner and two-time Stanley Cup champ was at it again on Tuesday, as he endured a sequence of over a minute against the Carolina Hurricanes, making saves while missing a skate blade. Not impressive enough for you? Well, would it help if I mentioned that it was a 5-on-3 power play for Carolina?

Vasilevskiy never ceases to amaze us with his focus and, when necessary, his desperation and commitment to making the saves that he needs to, even in the face of adversity.

Because of this sequence, the Bolts were able to keep the game close and collect a point, though they did end up losing to the Canes in OT.

Still.. you have to tip your hat to Vasilevskiy who, time and time again, has proven that he's one of the very best in the game.
