Final
Canadiens looking to end struggles against Canucks
Feb 15, 2009 - 8:21 AM Montreal (30-20-6) at Vancouver (26-21-8), 10:00 pm ESTVANCOUVER, British Columbia (Ticker) -- The Montreal Canadiens will try to snap a 10-game winless streak to the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday in their first meeting in over two years.
The Canadiens have not defeated the Canucks since November 30, 2003, posting an 0-8-2 record against Vancouver. In their last meeting on January 16, 2007, the Canucks cruised to a 4-0 victory over Montreal.
Vancouver had a four-game winning streak snapped in its last contest, suffering a 2-1 setback to the Dallas Stars. The Canucks will start a four-game homestand after this visit to Montreal.
Jaroslav Halak made a career-high 46 saves as the Canadiens avoided a season-worst fifth consecutive loss with a 4-2 triumph over the Colorado Avalanche on Friday.
Halak may have earned himself another start over struggling starter Carey Price, who was born in Vancouver.
Before Halak's impressive performance, Montreal had lost nine of its previous 11 contests.
