A five game home stand starts tonight vs the Vancouver Canucks with Steven Stamkos back in the lineup.
The Lightning return home tonight to face the Vancouver Canucks.
The Canucks have had their struggles in recent years with the Bolts. The Lightning have won six straight meetings including both games a week apart last season.
That said, the Lightning are coming off three straight losses, one that went into overtime. They'll will be looking to build on what they did in the third period vs Buffalo Tuesday night which means shooting the puck more and keeping it out of their own end.
Some good news on the injury front, after missing the past two games with a lower-body injury, Steven Stamkos is expected to return to the lineup on tonight. Having him back on the power play will be a huge gain for the Lightning.
