Filip Hronek took an elbow to the head late in the Vancouver Canucks loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, and the refs did nothing about it.
The defense and goaltending has been leaky of late on both sides. Carolina's 3.69 GPG average ranks third in the league, and that figure has been earned largely in 5-on-5 play.

BOTTOM LINE: The Vancouver Canucks head into the matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning after losing three in a row. Tampa Bay has a 9-6-2 record overall and a 4-4-0 record on its home ice. The Lightning have allowed 49 goals while scoring 52 for a +3 scoring differential.
