Penguins seeking fourth straight win

Dec 8, 2007 - 2:57 PM Pittsburgh (14-12-2) at Vancouver (16-10-2) 10:00 pm EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) - The Pittsburgh Penguins go for their fourth straight win on Saturday when they visit the Vancouver Canucks.

The Penguins extended their streak on Thursday with a 3-2 shootout victory over the Calgary Flames. In his first career game in Calgary, Sidney Crosby was held without a point for just the third time this season.

Pittsburgh used a power-play and a shorthanded goal to take the game into an extra session before defenseman Kris Letang sealed the victory with a goal in the fourth round of the shootout.

Letang has two goals and one assist in 10 games with the Penguins this season after being called up from Wilkes-Barre Scranton on November 14.

The Canucks enter the contest on a winning streak of their own, beating the Chicago Blackhawks and Nashville Predators on consecutive nights earlier this week.

Daniel Sedin scored twice against the Predators on Thursday and is tied with Markus Naslund for the team lead with 11 goals. Sedin's brother, Henrik, notched two assists in the win and has 28 points this season.
