Megna, Skille score 2 each, Canucks beat Lightning 5-1
TAMPA, Fla. — Ryan Miller gave the Vancouver Canucks a late scare in a one-sided win over Tampa Bay.
Miller made 38 saves before leaving with six minutes left in the third period with a lower-body injury. Jayson Megna and Jack Skille both had two goals and the Canucks beat the Lightning 5-1 on Thursday night.
“He felt sore, he kind of twisted it when he was on the ice,” Vancouver coach Willie Desjardins said of Miller. “He just didn’t feel quite right, so we just took him out for precaution. I don’t think it’s anything (serious).”
Miller skated to the bench and then went to the locker room, and was replaced by Jacob Markstrom, who stopped two shots.
