3. John Carlson GP 57 G 18 A 29 PTS 47 3. Elias Pettersson GP 59 G 18 A 24 PTS 42 THREE THINGS ABOUT THE LIGHTNINGThe Lightning are in Edmonton on Saturday but chose to start backup Brian Elliott against the Oilers. That means, unless he’s struck by an actual bolt of lightning, the Canucks are just about certain to face Tampa’s No. 1 netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy. He’s a perennial Vezina Trophy candidate as the league’s best goalie. Shows you how much opposing teams respect the Canucks right now.
The Lightning lost in Calgary and Winnipeg this week. They haven’t been their usual dominant selves in March and they’ve been getting out-shot-attempted, never a good trend. But they’re the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, so any idea they’re some sort of paper tiger is ridiculous. When they playoffs start, they’ll have plenty of people picking them to play in the Stanley Cup Final again.There have been a few reports of late linking Tyler Motte to the Lightning.
