Dec 30, 2006 - 5:50 PM Vancouver (19-18-1) at Edmonton (18-16-2) 10:00 pm EST

EDMONTON, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Vancouver Canucks try to continue their success within the Northwest Division on Saturday when they face the Edmonton Oilers.

In the league's most competitive division where first and last place is separated by a mere two points, the Canucks are coming off a pair of wins over the Calgary.

Sami Salo scored 2:46 into overtime to give the Canucks a wild 6-5 win over the Flames on Wednesday. They had posted a 3-1 triumph a night earlier.

The Oilers enter trying to avoid a third straight loss. They are coming off Thursday's 7-4 home setback to Los Angeles.
