The match between the Vancouver Canucks and Tampa Bay Lightning will take place at the Rogers Arena (Vancouver) on Wednesday, January 18 at 9:30 PM ET.
The Tampa Bay Lightning (28-13-1) and the Vancouver Canucks (18-22-3) meet tonight for the second time in a week. The pack drop is later, scheduled for 12:00 AM EST. FanDuel again favored -184 bolts with a 6.5 over/under set.
The Canucks had just attended the Lightning in Tampa on Thursday, January 12, where Bolt earned his 5-4 victory. His three goals in the second half and Stamkos’ 499th career victory in the second half gave the Lightning the much-needed victory. Tonight, the Bolts will be looking to continue their winning streak against the Canucks once again following last season. Tampa Bay kept its heaters up and handled the surging Kraken quickly when it stopped in Seattle on a road trip Monday afternoon. However, the 4-1 win was more one-sided than it appeared, with two empty goals in the closing blitz extending their lead further.

Meanwhile, the Canucks finally stopped his four-game slip on Sunday, winning his 4-3 shootout over his very good Carolina Hurricanes team. Seemingly taking advantage of a tired Carolina team, Vancouver kept fighting all the way until Elias Petterson sealed the game with a final penalty on his goal. A much-needed victory for the Canucks to avoid 0-5 on the road trip.
