TAMPA, FLA. -- The low fuel warning light was on, the battery needed a jump-start and a couple of the tires were low on air.
It didn’t matter. Somehow the Vancouver Canucks managed to get a grip on the wheel and finish their six-game road trip in style Tuesday night.
A road trip that through three games looked like it was headed straight for the ditch instead ended with an improbable 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.
After opening the trip with three losses, the Canucks managed to collect five of a possible six points in the final three games.
