Where has Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy been? The team says the star “underwent a successful microdiscectomy to address a lumbar disc herniation” and may not be available to the team for two months or more. The regular season for the Lightning will get underway at Amalie Arena against the Predators on Oct. 10th

If you take advantage of the TECO Streetcar to get to Amalie Arena, it will remain a free ride thanks for a government grant.
