2. Andrei Vasilevskiy

Goaltender in the NHL is the most important position in all of sports, and the Lightning have the best one. He gives his club a chance to win every single night and has the ability to cover up any mistake made in front of him.

His run during this year’s run to the cup was among the greatest goaltending performances in the history of sport. You cannot have a great team without great goaltending and Vasilevskiy has been nothing short of great during the past few seasons. Fans should be thankful for what he has done and what he will continue to do going forward. As long as he is in the Lightning net, they will *always* have a chance.
