The embattled 4-6 Canucks are 0-2 on this road trip. They can score but they can't hold a lead, allowing 12 goals and scoring 8 in their last two games. They are 30th in goals against and worst in the league on the PK. Add a sub-.500 road record and an 0-4 recent record against the Lightning, and a Canucks win seems unlikely.

The Lightning lost 2 straight on the road, but bounced back with a big home win against the Blues last time out. Tampa Bay is very tough to beat at home. With a top five offense and power play, they could have a field day against either of the Canucks' inexperienced 2nd string goalies. The Canucks give out high risk chances and power play goals like Hallowe'en candy, but don't underestimate their offense. The over is 23 -14 in Canucks' games this season. Expect a high scoring game tonight and go with the over again.
