Coming into Tuesday night’s clash, the red-hot Vancouver Canucks were determined to bring an end to the seven-game winning streak of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Dethroning last year’s Presidents’ Trophy winners, all while gathering their eighth straight victory, would send the perfect message to the entire league — that the Canucks are a playoff team.
The addition of J.T. Miller to the wing of Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser has made a very considerable difference in offensive production. The Canucks were eager to deploy the Lotto Line in the state of Florida and thus show the Lightning how lucky they are to have acquired the talented two-way forward.
