- On Thursday at Rogers Arena, Tampa Bay Lightning beat Vancouver Canucks 6-2 as Nikita Kucherov and Anthony Cirelli each scored a goal and two assists.
- Canucks defensive problems include repeatedly allowing goals on the crease, with younger players needing improvement and veterans like Foote expected to guide them.
- Andrei Vasilevskiy made 19 saves to earn his NHL-leading 32nd victory, while Guentzel scored for the Penguins and Raddysh, Gourde, and Hagel scored for Tampa Bay.
- Kucherov's night moved Nikita Kucherov into sole possession of second place in the NHL scoring race with 114 points, keeping Tampa Bay second in the Atlantic Division, four points behind Buffalo.
- As the team looks ahead, Vancouver hosts St. Louis on Saturday, after Pettersson's inconsistent Thursday performance. This presents a chance to address defensive issues exposed in recent games.
