Nikita Kucherov led the Tampa Bay Lightning to victory over the Vancouver Canucks in their delayed home opener, scoring his fourth goal of the season. This match followed a hat trick performance from Kucherov in the previous game.
Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli, and Brandon Hagel contributed with goals and assists, while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 26 saves. Vancouver struggled, with only Conor Garland scoring during a power play.
The Lightning's performance remained strong despite disruptions caused by Hurricane Milton, as they prepare to face the Vegas Golden Knights next.
