Canucks continue drive to division crown vs. Coyotes

Mar 1, 2007 - 5:11 PM Phoenix (27-33-3) at Vancouver (36-22-5) 10:00 pm EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- After missing the playoffs last season, the Vancouver Canucks are in a dogfight for the Northwest Division title.

The Canucks attempt to rebound from a rare two-game slide Thursday when they open a three-game homestand against the Phoenix Coyotes.

Thanks to a 19-4-4 mark since Christmas, Vancouver is tied with the Calgary Flames for first place in the Northwest Division race, one point ahead of the Minnesota Wild.

After six consecutive victories, the Canucks have scored one goal in each of their last two games, including Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to the St. Louis Blues.

Concluding a three-game road swing, the Coyotes were happy to see February end after dropping eight of 12 outings, including six in a row from February 7-19.

Phoenix snapped a five-game road drought with Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers. Curtis Joseph stopped 26 shots for his fourth shutout of the campaign and Owen Nolan and Yanic Lehoux scored power-play goals for the Coyotes.
