Canucks visit Flames looking to stay perfect in Northwest

Nov 8, 2007 - 2:53 PM Vancouver (6-8-0) at Calgary (6-6-3) 9:00 pm EST

CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) - If they had their way, the Vancouver Canucks would schedule more games against Northwest Division opponents.

The Canucks visit the division-rival Calgary Flames on Thursday.

Vancouver, in the midst of eight consecutive divisional games, are currently a perfect 4-0 in the Northwest. Following Thursday's game, Vancouver goes home for four - one against each of its divisional foes.

The Canucks come into the game well-rested, having not played since Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. Daniel Sedin, who leads the Canucks with 14 points, had a pair of goals and an assist to hand the Avalanche their first home loss.

Calgary has lost three straight, including a 4-1 loss Monday to Colorado and their last four losses have been by the same score.

Defenseman Dion Phaneuf and forward Eric Nystrom are expected to be available. Phaneuf missed practice on Tuesday because of a leg injury. Nystrom, nursing an arm injury, skated with the team Wednesday.

It will be the second meeting of the season between the teams. The Canucks used Sedin's goal with five seconds left in overtime to defeat the Flames, 4-3, on October 6.

Calgary captain Jarome Iginla is tied for second in the league in scoring with 22 points.
