Watch the hilarious moment NHL star completely loses it when loud fart noise interrupts his post-game interview

NHL star Andrei Vasilevskiy's post-game interview was interrupted in unusual fashion on Monday night - and he couldn't contain his laughter.

Following Tampa Bay Lightning's 4-0 victory over Dallas Stars, Vasilevskiy was opening up on his mindset heading into the game having suffered a reverse 8-1 defeat just 48 hours prior.

Yet as he began to do so, the Tampa Bay goalie was distracted by a loud fart noise which broke out in the media scrum.

After initially laughing at the fart, Vasilevskiy asked: 'What was the question?'

He then struggled to keep his composure once again as a host of reporters broke out into laughter.

Earlier in the evening, Vasilevskiy stopped 25 shots for his first shutout of the season to help Tampa Bay snap a four-game skid.

NHL points leader Nikita Kucherov also had a goal and an assist in the 4-0 victory over Dallas.

Anthony Cirelli registered two goals and Luke Glendening also scored for the Lightning, who were coming off an 8-1 loss which saw Vasilevskiy allow six goals on 25 shots before being pulled after two periods.

'I thought tonight the whole team played great,' he said. 'Great result because of that.'

Vasilevskiy made a terrific post-to-post save on Tyler Seguin's left circle shot with 11.8 seconds left in the second en route to his 33rd career shutout, including six against Dallas. He is 2-3-0 in five games since returning from back surgery. 

'Looks like he's back,' Lightning coach Jon Cooper said on his goalie after the game.
