Intense action in the NHL continues on Nov 16, as the Tampa Bay Lightning host the Vancouver Canucks. Find the odds and our picks here.
It has been a damaging period for Vancouver, as they have suffered defeats in each of their last two, and have gone 4-5-1 across their last ten.
Tampa Bay Lightning will be hoping to respond this weekend after suffering a defeat in their latest outing.
It has been an impressive start to the season for the Lightning, but they will need to bounce back this weekend with back-to-back games on Saturday and Sunday.
Tampa have been in excellent form across their last ten, winning on seven occasions.
Despite that, they remain among the lowest scorers in the NHL. Defensively, they will take positives from their performances this season, having conceded an Atlantic Division-low of just 48 goals.
There will be questions for the visitors to answer this weekend, as the Vancouver Canucks have suffered defeats in each of their last two.
They have also gone 4-5-1 across their last ten. Only the Calgary Flames have suffered more regulation time defeats in the Pacific Division this term, while the Canucks also have the second-worst defensive record.
Their inconsistency would be a concern ahead of this clash on the road on Sunday.
| TOTAL | Canucks | Lightning | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 45 | 21 | 22 | - |
| GOALS | 291 | 149 | 142 |
The visitors have been inconsistent across their last ten games, and their losing record is an obvious concern this weekend.
Tampa has been reliable across their last ten games, and they have won 56% of their previous home games against the Canucks. Therefore, the home is among our standout Canucks vs. Lightning picks.
