Sports by Hartley Miller as of 12:05 a.m. Tuesday, November 16th
NHL: (2 Monday games, both won by the home team)
Tampa Bay Lightning 4 New York Islanders 1
Columbus Blue Jackets 5 Detroit Red Wings 3
There are 11 NHL games tonight including Edmonton at Winnipeg, Calgary at Philadelphia, Nashville at Toronto, and Montreal at NY Rangers.
The Ottawa Senators game, scheduled for this evening in New Jersey, has been postponed because the Senators are dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak.
The (5-9-2) Vancouver Canucks play their next three at home: Wednesday against Colorado, Friday vs. Winnipeg and Sunday against Chicago.
The Canucks are coming off a 3-game road trip, where they lost all three by a combined score of 19-6.
Hearing VAN owner Francesco Aquilini to meet with GM Jim Benning this afternoon. Neither individual will comment, but from what I understand, this is a meeting to understand why the team is losing and address it, not to make a change at the position.

“These are critical days. The team is teetering.”
As @imacSportsnet notes, the Vancouver Canucks already are six points out of a playoff spot after an awful road trip.https://t.co/WhhFTJ0Shv
