Brayden Point added to the scoreboard with the game-winning goal, while Anthony Cirelli and Brandon Hagel also contributed with goals. Andrei Vasilevskiy was in top form, stopping 26 of 27 shots and keeping Vancouver’s offense in check throughout the game. The Canucks, still searching for their first win of the season, struggled to get past the Lightning’s defense, with Conor Garland scoring the lone goal for Vancouver. Despite some late-game pressure, the Canucks couldn’t mount a comeback, as Hagel sealed the win with an empty-net goal.
The Lightning’s victory wasn’t just a result of their star players shining; it was a testament to their resilience following a week of disruptions. The team has been active in supporting the local community, offering discounted tickets and donating to first responders and recovery workers affected by the hurricanes, further solidifying their connection to the region.
As the Lightning continue their season, they will look to build on this momentum with their next game against the Vegas Golden Knights, while the Canucks will try to regroup and secure their first win against the Florida Panthers.
