Final
Sedin, Canucks search for fourth straight win
Feb 18, 2007 - 3:00 PM Colorado (28-26-4) at Vancouver (33-21-4) 10:00 pm ESTVANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- The Vancouver Canucks have been on a roll and hope to continue that trend on Sunday.
The surging Canucks go in search of their fourth straight win as they welcome in the Colorado Avalanche in a matchup of Northwest Division rivals.
Center Brendan Morrison scored the game-winning goal in the shootout and goaltender Roberto Luongo recorded 34 saves for Vancouver in Friday's 2-1 triumph at Chicago.
The 27-year-old Luongo, who is 5-2-0 in February, has posted an impressive .947 save percentage during the Canucks' winning streak.
Colorado fell to 1-1-0 on its three-game road swing following Saturday's 5-2 setback at Calgary. Paul Stastny and Andrew Brunette each scored a goal in the second period in the loss.
The Avalanche hope defenseman Jordan Leopold will return to the lineup after hurting his wrist in Thursday's win at Calgary.
Vancouver is 2-1-0 this season against Colorado, winning the last matchup here 2-1 on December 2 behind the efforts of Luongo, who had 40 saves.
