Coyotes face Canucks looking for rare home victory

Dec 22, 2007 - 2:20 PM Vancouver (19-12-4) at Phoenix (17-16-0) 10:00 pm EST

GLENDALE, Arizona (Ticker) - Fresh off a successful road trip, the Phoenix Coyotes return home looking to continue their winning ways.

In the opener of a four-game homestand Saturday, the Coyotes welcome in the Vancouver Canucks.

The Coyotes, who are 12-8-0 on the road but only 5-8-0 at home, have won four straight and just completed a six-game road trip at 5-1-0.

The team will play six of their next seven games at home, where they have won three of their last four, but also have the fewest home wins of any team in the league.

Vancouver is 5-2-0 with a tie against the Coyotes in its last eight games on the road and has won nine of the last 11 games in the series.

The Canucks are coming off a 3-2 home victory over Dallas on Thursday. Vancouver has won two straight and three of their last five. Roberto Luongo was in goal for both games after missing four due to bruised ribs.

Luongo is 2-4-0 with a 3.15 goals-against average in six games against Phoenix.
