Impact His team played well for the first half of the game, but they really chased the game after the Canes got their second goal. Vasilevskiy couldn't hold back the Canes snipers. Bottom line, the superstar can't win them all.

No-fault loss against Bruins Vasilevskiy made 21 saves in a 4-0 loss to Boston on Saturday. He allowed three goals.

Impact This loss was definitely not on Vasilevskiy. The first Boston goal was an own goal when Oliver Bjorkstrand tried to clear the puck from the crease and instead hit Vasy's pad and the puck went into the net. The second was a high-slot delection by his own defender on a clear-in from outside the blue line that caught the netminder out of the net. The third was an empty netter, and the fourth was on a 2-on-1. Vasilevskiy is 10-2-1 in his last 13 starts dating back to the end of January.

Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has a 29-16-3 record with a 2.18 GAA and a .923 save percentage.
