The Canucks have beaten the powerhouse Lightning just once in nine meetings since 2018
TAMPA — It’s a pretty bold statement about the strength of your division when 25 wins in 39 games has you just in third place.
The Tampa Bay Lightning remain one of the league’s powerhouses, but in the 2022-23 season they’re trailing the odds-on favourite for the Stanley Cup and a perennial pretender-who-should-be-a-contender. The Boston Bruins have lost five games all year. The Toronto Maple Leafs have actually won just as many games as the Bolts — but they’ve pushed more beyond regulation.
This is all to say that the Lightning present, yet again, a very tough test for the Vancouver Canucks.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.The previous visit for the Canucks to the Gulf Coast was in pre-pandemic days, when the Canucks suffered a 9-2 shellacking at the hands of their hosts, who were on their way to winning their first of two back-to-back Stanley Cups.
