Blackhawks seek seventh straight win

Dec 20, 2008 - 3:19 PM Chicago (17-6-7) at Vancouver (18-11-3), 10:00 p.m. EST

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- The Chicago Blackhawks have been clicking on all cylinders and look to reach their longest winning streak in almost 28 years.

Armed with plenty of momentum, the Blackhawks seek their seventh straight victory when they visit the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday.

Chicago last won seven in a row from January 4-21, 1981, when its run reached eight contests. The Blackhawks have enjoyed seven six-game winning streaks since winning eight straight.

With this contest, Chicago completes a three-game swing through western Canada. It defeated Calgary, 3-2, in overtime on Friday, three days after cruising to a 9-2 victory over Edmonton.

Winners of two straight, the Canucks have been the center of attention around the hockey world this week for signing coveted free agent center Mats Sundin to a one-year contract.

The former Toronto Maple Leafs captain is expected to arrive in Vancouver on December 27. He has been skating with a professional team in Sweden, and could be ready to play early next month.

Vancouver, which will likely be without starting netminder Roberto Luongo for the 12th straight contest, has scored nine goals in its current winning streak.
