Wild look to continue domination of Canucks

Mar 4, 2007 - 5:08 PM Minnesota (36-23-6) at Vancouver (37-22-5) 10:00 pm EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Wild are looking to move up in the Northwest Division race. But the Vancouver Canucks are standing in their way.

The surging Wild hope to record their fifth win in six tries when they head north of the border to face the division-leading Canucks on Sunday.

Vancouver enters with a slim one-point edge in the division standings over Minnesota, which is 4-1-1 against the Canucks this season.

Minnesota is coming off its 5-0 victory at Edmonton behind the stellar performance of third-string goaltender Josh Harding, who recorded 30 saves.

Pavol Demitra and Marian Gaborik each had two goals and an assist for Minnesota, which is only one point behind Calgary for sixth place in the Western Conference standings.

The Canucks put an end to their two-game slide with Thursday's 4-3 triumph over the Phoenix Coyotes. Daniel Sedin scored the tying power-play goal and Markus Naslund netted the winning tally in the third period.
