Blackhawks return home to face Canucks

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago Blackhawks return home after a season-long seven-game road trip to host the Vancouver Canucks on Friday.

The Blackhawks have missed the playoffs in seven of the last eight seasons, and face up an uphill battle to qualify this season. They are 15 points out of the final playoff berth in the Western Conference. Chicago is just 11-13-3 at home this season.

The Blackhawks concluded a 4-3-0 road trip with a 5-4 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. Right wing Martin Havlat had an assist, which extended his points streak to seven games.

Havlat has seven goals and five assists during his streak. The All-Star right wing had a goal and an assist in a 3-0 victory at Vancouver on February 7.

Vancouver is tied with Calgary atop the Northwest Division.

The Canucks are 5-2-1 in their last eight games, including a 3-2 overtime victory over division rival Minnesota on Wednesday. Defenseman Sami Salo scored the winner in overtime on a 2-on-1 with Todd Cooke. Salo has a career-high five game-winning goals this season.

Markus Naslund and Daniel Sedin scored while Roberto Luongo made 30 saves. Luongo is 2-1-0 with a 0.67 goals-against average against Chicago this season.
