Wild battle Canucks in key Northwest Division contest

Jan 21, 2008 - 3:23 PM Minnesota (26-18-3) at Vancouver (25-18-5) 10:00 pm EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) - A pair of teams muddled in the tight Northwest Division standings meet Monday when the Vancouver Canucks host the Minnesota Wild.

The teams are tied for second place in the division, just one point back of both the Colorado Avalanche and Calgary Flames.

Vancouver has won two of the three meetings from Minnesota this season.

The Canucks, who are winless in their last three games, are coming off Saturday's 4-3 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings.

"We were sloppy at times in our end, giving up plays that we don't usually give up," Canucks defenseman Mattias Ohlund said. "We scored three goals that should have been enough to win the game, but we gave up some goals that we shouldn't have and usually don't."

The Wild have lost two straight at home following a three-game winning streak. They have been off since a 4-2 setback to the Anaheim Ducks on Friday.
