Canucks look to extend winning streaks to four
Mar 8, 2007 - 5:03 PM Vancouver (39-22-5) at Phoenix (27-36-3) 9:00 pm ESTGLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) -- The surging Vancouver Canucks are looking to add a little more cushion to their slim division lead.
The Northest Division-leading Canucks aim for their ninth win in 11 games when they visit the Phoenix Coyotes on Thursday.
Vancouver posted its third consecutive triumph with Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lighting behind the performance of goaltender Roberto Luongo, who had 16 saves.
Jeff Cowan recorded two goals and Daniel Sedin tallied once and added an assist for the Canucks, who are just two points ahead of Calgary for first place in the division.
The Coyotes suffered their fourth setback in five games after falling, 2-1, to the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday on the road.
Netminder Mikael Tellqvist recorded 24 saves, but collected his fifth loss in six games for Phoenix, which has dropped 10 of its last 12 matchups overall.
