Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy was yanked from Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Washington Capitals after allowing four goals on 25 shots. Louis Domingue replaced him to begin the third period.
Vasilevskiy had played every minute in the Lightning crease this postseason prior to being pulled.
Domingue has no NHL postseason experience, but he managed to post a .914 save percentage and a 2.89 goals-against average with the Lightning this year after a midseason trade from the Arizona Coyotes.
