Tampa Bay has won eight of the past nine meetings, including 4-1 on Oct. 15. The Lightning come off a dominating 8-1 victory over San Jose on Thursday when Brandon Hagel scored twice 23 seconds apart in Tampa Bay's five-goal first period to back Andrei Vasilevskiy, who stopped 20 shots. The Lightning are 6-0 their past six road games against teams with home winning percentages of less than .400 and they have won five straight with two days rest. Vancouver has lost four straight after allowing two or fewer goals its previous game and it comes off a 5-2 win over Columbus. Andrei Vasilevskiy has a 2.50 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage with two shutouts for Tampa Bay and he stopped 26 of 27 shots in its previous win against the Canucks this season. Thatcher Demko is likely to make his first start of the season for the Canucks after being out with a knee injury. Take the Lightning and the UNDER.
