Red-hot Kesler, Canucks visit Senators

Feb 19, 2009 - 3:38 PM Vancouver (28-21-8) at Ottawa (22-25-9), 7:30 pm EST

OTTAWA (Ticker) -- The Vancouver Canucks have found their stride - thanks largely to the play of Ryan Kesler.

Kesler will attempt to lead the Canucks to their seventh win in eight games when they face the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.

The 24-year-old Kesler netted both a power-play and shorthanded goal during Tuesday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Calgary Flames.

Defenseman Kevin Bieksa tallied with 51 seconds remaining in the third period to tie the game for Vancouver, which had lost its previous eight contests before this surge.

A first-round selection in 2003, Kesler has recorded nine goals and 13 points over the last eight games. The center has 18 tallies and 20 assists on the campaign.

The Senators had their season-best, five-game winning streak snapped with Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Colorado Avalanche.

Ottawa, which has picked up a point in seven straight contests (5-0-2), remains 13 points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
