The Canucks are 4-12-1 in 17 games, but are looking to cap a four-game road trip with six points after beating the Panthers 4-3 in a shootout Sunday.
"That's just the way it's been," Coach John Tortorella told ESPN.com. "We've been on the other side of these things. Good for Eddie Lack, and Jensen. It's not Picasso, that's for sure, but it's nice to grind away and scratch and claw and get the two points."
Last time Torts coached against the team he led to a Stanley Cup trophy, the Canucks lost 4-2. Now he goes into Tampa where he brought the franchise its only championship. His team will have to get the puck beyond Ben Bishop, who is among the NHL's leaders in wins, goals-against average (2.10) and shutouts (five).
"You see where we are in the standings," center Valtteri Filppula told the team's official website. "He's a huge part of it. He kept us in a lot of games where we didn't think we had a chance the whole game, then we were able to win."
He didn't allow a goal against the Devils, as he snapped a personal four-game slide, during which he compiled a 3.15 GAA.
"He's been that guy who has given up two or less this year," coach Jon Cooper said. "And to bounce back like he did from his last few starts just shows his progression. You're watching the growth of Ben Bishop. He wants that next start. He's not shying away from it."
Tampa started the homestand poorly, but turned it around into one that has helped it stay in the playoff-picture.
"It's turned into a good homestand," Cooper said. "But we can make it a great one with points against the Canucks. We need to continue to take care of business at home."
