A 7-2-1 run in their last ten games, and a six-game winning streak, is just what the doctor ordered, as the red-hot Canucks have one more home game in January before setting off on a grueling road trip that will not have them back home until March 13! Vancouver has moved into first place in the Northwest Division with 68 points and 33-18-2 record, which is also good enough to place them in 3rd place in the Western Conference and 6th in the league.

About The Vancouver Canucks
Vancouver is not one of the better teams in the league by surprise; they are led by the NHL’s leading scorer, Henrik Sedin, who has 76 points on 24 goals (10th in NHL) and 52 assists (2nd in NHL) at this point of the season. But the firepower does not stop there, as the Canucks also boast a few more above average point producers – Henrik’s leftwing brother Daniel (48 points, 34 assists, in only 35games), center Ryan Kesler (47 points, 34 assists), left-wingers Alex Burrows (45 points, 23 goals) and Mason Raymond (39 points, 20 goals), and rightwing Mikael Samuelsson (36 points, 18 goals/assists), just to name those scoring above the thirty-point mark.
At the other end of the ice the Canucks have the seemingly unfair advantage of seasoned goaltender Roberto Luongo blocking the net. Luongo (29-14-2, 2.26 GAA, .922 save %) is not only solid and reliable, but also ranked highly amongst the top NHL goalies – tied for 3rd in the wins column, 7th in goals against average, and 9th in save percentage. Someone like Luongo can take a team to, and all of the way through, the playoffs, especially if he catches fire.
After coming up from dead last to win the Northwest last season, Vancouver is proving once again to be a serious contender, with another division crown well within reach again this year. This is a team that cannot be ignored over the remaining course of the season, or when the playoffs begin. Get tickets now and be there for all the excitement as the Canucks continue to shake things up all across the NHL.
The Vancouver Canucks are lucky to have one of the best goaltenders in the NHL playing for them as well as the most talked about free agents in the league this year. That may be where the Vancouver Canucks luck ends this year though. While the team has everything it needs to be a success this season, the team will still be counting on the strength of some new and inexperienced players on the ice. These young players need to step up and take control. If all the pieces fall into place, you just might see the Vancouver Canucks at the Stanley Cup Finals this year.
