Canucks score five goals in third period to strike down Lightning 6-2

On Sunday, the Vancouver Canucks rallied with five third-period goals to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2 in Tampa, Fla.
After Tampa Bay's early goals, Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel gave Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead before Jake DeBrusk scored on a second-period rebound against Jonas Johansson .
Kiefer Sherwood tied it 2-2 on a power-play shot deflecting off Tampa Bay defender J.J. Moser's skate, then Linus Karlsson put Vancouver ahead and Drew O'Connor added his fifth of the season.
Kevin Lankinen made 28 saves and Quinn Hughes had four assists, key contributions as Vancouver snapped a three-game losing streak.
The win arrives as Vancouver's three-game road trip, which began Friday with an overtime loss at Carolina, continues with a visit to the Florida Panthers on Monday.
