The Canucks are back at it tonight as the Tampa Bay Lightning head into Vancouver coming off a 4-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers last night. What was surprising was Bolts coach Jon Cooper giving the start to Brian Elliott last night against the Oilers. You’d think he would want his number one in, but it will be Andrei Vasilevskiy in goal tonight against the Canucks instead. And that gamble did not pay off for the Lightning, as Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl combined for three of the four Oilers goals.
While that wasn’t a good outcome as far as the Canucks were concerned, let’s look at last night’s action through Canuck-coloured glasses as we do some Scoreboard Watching!
