Kevin Lankinen made 24 saves for the last-place Canucks.<\/p>\n
The Lightning were 0-for-1 on the power play, while the Canucks went 0-for-2.<\/p>\n

After establishing position at the net front, Guentzel tipped a shot from the top of the zone by Charle-Edouard D\u2019Astous over the glove of a screened Lankinen.<\/p>\n
Less than a minute into the second, Raddysh made it 2-0 with a big one-timer. Gourde then added his ninth of the year, tipping in another Raddysh shot from the side of the net at 4:16.

Ohgren spoiled Vasilevskiy\u2019s shutout bid with 7:54 remaining in the second, putting a low shot past the Tampa goalie for his seventh goal of the year.<\/p>\n
In the third, Karlsson batted the puck over an outstretched Valisevskiy for his 13th of the year. Twenty-two seconds later, Cirelli restored the Lightning\u2019s three-goal edge, then Hagel rounded out the scoring with his 32nd, with 9:25 remaining.<\/p>\n
