Status report
Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said Vasilevskiy will start tonight and Johansson will start Tuesday at the Arizona Coyotes. … Cooper said he’s comfortable using a goalie rotation to prevent overloading Vasilevskiy, who missed the first 20 games this season after having microdiscectomy surgery to address a lumbar disk herniation on Sept. 28. … Colorado coach Jared Bednar said MacKinnon, who wasn’t at the morning skate, is ill and will be a game-time decision.
