Vasilevskiy out 4-6 weeks with fractured foot

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will miss four-to-six weeks with a fractured left foot, the team announced Friday.

The Lightning revealed on Thursday that the injury occurred during Wednesday's practice. Vasilevskiy was sent back to Tampa Bay to be re-evaluated by doctors with the team in the midst of a four-game road trip.

With Vasilevskiy out, backup goaltender Louis Domingue is expected to shoulder most of the workload between the pipes. The 26-year-old back-stopped the Lightning to a 4-3 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night.

Vasilevskiy has been a rock this season, going 9-3-1 with a 2.30 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage.
