Luongo, Canucks host Wild

Nov 8, 2008 - 3:09 PM Minnesota (8-3-1) at Vancouver (8-6-0), 10:00 p.m. EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo will try and make it three straight shutouts when his club hosts the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.

Luongo, who leads the league with four shutouts, has blanked back-to-back opponents this week, totaling 54 saves in the two wins.

The 29-year-old made 24 stops in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over Nashville and then turned aside 28 shots in Thursday's 1-0 triumph over Phoenix.

It is the first time the netminder has recorded consecutive shutouts since he set the franchise record last season with three straight from November 25-29. That scoreless streak totaled 210 minutes, 34 seconds.

Minnesota is playing the final contest of a four-game road trip.

Niklas Backstrom made 35 saves as the Wild posted a 3-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

The Wild won five of the last six meetings with the Canucks last season.
