Prediction

Hopefully Vancouver was able to shake off any rust it may have had from its ten day layoff in their 5-2 defeat against the Panthers, because they’ll need their best and sharpest effort in order to stay competitive against the Lightning. I think the Canucks realize that their road trip is difficult and  that picking up points when no one expects them too is critical to their seasons outlook. While I’m not convinced that Vancouver can pick up both points on the road in Tampa, I’m expecting an effort that keeps the game close all 60 minutes.

Pick: Canucks +1.5 at -115
