Andrei Vasilevskiy has missed the first two months after receiving back surgery in September, and now his return date is known.
Vasilevskiy to Return in Net For Tampa In a Week Barring Any Complications
In breaking news, it has been reported that Andrei Vasilevskiy will return in net for the Tampa Bay Lightning by next week after missing the first two months with a back injury.

Vasilevskiy had successful surgery to fix a herniated disc in his back at the beginning of the season. In his absence, the Tampa Bay Lightning have been able to stick in the middle of the pack with a 9-6-4 record.
Vasilevskiy's return should give the Lightning the spark they need to boost them up the standings, as long as he is feeling healthy and barring any complications with his rehabilitation.
