This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Tampa Bay Lightning.
REASONING: Vancouver is the third-lowest scoring team in the league, averaging 2.18 GPG. That doesn't bode well for the visitors today who face a Lightning team which has won back to back games over Washington and Carolina, while giving up just two total goals in the process. Don't think for a second though that Tampa is "looking past," the lowly Canucks today: "In the NHL, teams that may struggle to score goals can put up six or seven," Lightning captain Ryan Callahan assessed last night. "So you can't look at numbers or say that they are struggling offensively. The big thing for us is the way we play defensively and we can hopefully continue that trend for them. But it's always about our game and what we are doing, not so much the other team so we don't really look at those stats too much." Good news for the home side, Callahan returns to the lineup tonight, along with defenseman Jason Garrison. Unfortunate news for the already under-manned Canucks, defenseman Philip Larsen is out for an unknown amount of time after getting knocked out in New Jersey on Tuesday from a hard hit from Taylor Hall. We're expecting a wire-to-wire rout, play on the LIGHTNING.
