Canucks, Wild on collision course

Feb 14, 2007 - 4:19 PM Vancouver (31-21-4) at Minnesota (31-22-4) 9:00 pm EST

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- First place is on the line when the Vancouver Canucks visit the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday.

Both clubs have 66 points and are locked in a three-way tie with the Calgary Flames for first place in the Northwest Division.

Minnesota is 4-1-0 against Vancouver this season. The teams play twice more after Wednesday's meeting.

Vancouver is 4-2-0 in its last six games and comes off a 3-2 triumph over the Atlanta Thrashers on Saturday. Brendan Morrison scored twice to break a drought in which he had one goal in his last 12 games.

Goaltender Roberto Luongo made 27 saves, and is 4-2-1 in his last seven games. The All-Star has surrendered 14 goals in those seven contests.

The Wild are 5-1-0 in their last six and edged the Carolina Hurricanes, 5-4, on Saturday. Martin Gaborik scored two power-play goals and has eight goals and 18 points in his last 14 games. He needs one points for 300 in his career.

Gaborik has five multi-goal games this season, including two tallies in a 5-2 victory over the Canucks on January 11.
