Vancouver winds up a long road trip here, 1-1 the last two games, cashing as a +170 dog at Detroit. They come off a 5-4 loss at Florida, so they've tallied eight goals the last two contests. The Canucks' offense also gets captain Henrik Sedin back tonight, their second-leading scorer. Tampa Bay is home but has their own concerns, barely over .500 at home and ranked #21 in the NHL in goals scored, #22 on the power play. The Lightning are also near the bottom of the NHL with a 77.1 kill percentage on opponents' power plays. Tampa Bay is off a win but the Lightning are 4-10 following a victory. Two of their last three wins have been by one goal, sandwiched around a 2-1 loss at home to Washington as a favorite. Vancouver has more than enough offense to keep this close. Take Vancouver on the puckline.
