News - Henrik Sedin
Roberto Luongo stopped 23 shots Tuesday, helping Vancouver beat Chicago 3-1 in Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, Mason Raymond, Steve Bernier and Henrik Sedin each had a goal for the Canucks, who now have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.
Henrik Sedin's goal 40 seconds into overtime Saturday handed the Vancouver Canucks a 1-0 win over Colorado. The Canucks claimed the Northwest Division title when regulation ended in a scoreless tie, and then posted their third straight win when a Sedin pass caromed off the skate of Colorado's Scott Hannan past Avalanche goalie Peter Budaj for the game-winner. Vancouver's Roberto Luongo stopped 22 shots in his ninth shutout of the season and the 47th of his NHL career. Budaj finished with 32 saves in the third straight loss for the Avalanche. Vancouver (45-27-10) has locked up the third seed in the Western Conference and is waiting to see whether it will play Anaheim, Columbus or St.
Corey Perry's goal in the shootout Thursday gave Anaheim a 6-5 win over Vancouver -- and also gave the Ducks' playoffs hopes a boost. Perry also scored in regulation, and Teemu Selanne and Bobby Ryan had two goals apiece for the Ducks, who have won three straight and eight of their last nine games -- and have climbed into seventh place in the Western Conference playoff hunt with 86 points. Anaheim trails sixth-place Columbus by two points.
Henrik Sedin scored with 1 minute left in overtime Tuesday to put Vancouver in first place in the Northwest Division with a 2-1 win over Minnesota.
Daniel Sedin put Vancouver in front 37 seconds deep in the third period and the Canucks scored three times in the final stanza Friday to defeat Colorado 4-1. Both Daniel and Henrik Sedin had a goal and an assist, giving Vancouver its sixth win in eight games.
