The Tampa Bay Lightning have adapted their power play following the departure of star center Steven Stamkos to Nashville. After a rocky start, the team has found success, scoring two power-play goals in a recent 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks.
Head coach Jon Cooper praised the players for their willingness to adjust, leading to a resurgence in their special teams performance. Nikita Kucherov, who returned from injury, played a crucial role, contributing one goal and two assists.
On the other hand, Canucks captain Quinn Hughes scored his 50th career goal despite taking a stick to the face early in the game. Vancouver continues to struggle at home, with a record of 4-6-3 at Rogers Arena this season.
