shootout since Dec. 6 or played an overtime game sin

(SportsNetwork.com) - The streaking Vancouver Canucks will try to stay perfect this season against the Oilers, as the Pacific Division foes meet in Saturdays battle at Edmontons Rexall Place. You can catch all of the action live on TSN 1040 at 7pm pt. The Canucks won the first two of five scheduled meetings with Edmonton in 2014-15, beating a visiting Oilers team 5-4 in a shootout on Oct. 11 before winning 2-0 at Rexall Place on Oct. 17. Vancouver has won five of the last seven encounters overall and has claimed two of the past three in Edmonton. Vancouver closed out October on a three-game winning streak, coming out on top in each game of a homestand. The Canucks wrapped the stay at Rogers Arena with Thursdays thrilling 3-2 overtime win against Montreal. Daniel Sedin scored the winner at 2:45 of OT to lift Vancouver past the Habs and give the Canucks their second three-game winning streak of the season. Vancouver also opened the season 3-0 and it will try for its first four-game winning streak since a seven-game tear from December 1-14 of last season. Sedins winner came on the power play after Montreals Tom Gilbert was called for interference 50 seconds into the extra session. Henrik Sedin brought the puck into the offensive end and cut over to the middle before dishing it low to the right circle where his twin brother Daniel quickly shifted to the forehand and snapped the puck into the left corner for the win. Nick Bonino and Brad Richardson scored for the Canucks, while Ryan Miller made 23 stops for win No. 301 of his career. It was a fun game to play, said Miller. The Canucks, however, will be without Alexandre Burrows for the next three games after the forward was suspended Friday. Burrows received the ban from the league for a late and high hit on Canadiens defenseman Alexei Emelin. No penalty was called on the play. Although he has been fined twice by the league, this is the first suspension for Burrows in 10 NHL seasons. Burrows, who has two goals and four assists this season, will be eligible to return in Thursdays game against San Jose. Edmonton had won four straight before losing Wednesday against Nashville. The Oilers hope to put a positive ending on a seven-game homestand when they cap the residency versus the Canucks. The Oilers dropped a 4-1 decision to the Predators, falling to 4-2-0 during their current stay at Rexall Place. Pekka Rinne stopped 26 shots and Craig Smith scored a pair of goals to lead Nashville to the easy win. Taylor Hall potted the lone goal for the Oilers, while Ben Scrivens took the loss despite making 31 saves. The chances were there, but we just couldnt find a way to put them in. Were in the West, we have to find a way to beat them, said Edmontons Ryan Nugent- Hopkins. All of Edmontons wins this season have come against Eastern Conference teams, as the Oilers are 0-5-1 within the conference. Projected Canucks Lines: D. Sedin - H.

Justin Reid Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson knows few people will be giving the Charlotte Bobcats a chance to upset the Miami Heat in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A few moments after Kyle Palmieris shootout attempt hit both Montreal posts and skittered along the goal line without going in, Andrei Markovs shot left no doubt about an impressive win for the Canadiens. Markov scored in the sixth round of the shootout, Dustin Tokarski stopped 39 shots to win his Montreal debut, and the Canadiens beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 Wednesday night for their sixth victory in eight games. Brendan Gallagher had a goal and an assist for the Canadiens, tying it late in the second period. Max Pacioretty got his 30th goal and captain Brian Gionta also scored in a big victory over the overall NHL leaders before the arrival of new acquisition Thomas Vanek. "We knew we were going to play against the best team in the league, and they especially play great at home," Markov said. "So we just tried to stick to the game plan and our system and do our job. That goal we got (from Gallagher) late in the second period helped us to stay in the game. Everybody played hard, and our goalie played unbelievable. He made great saves and was really in the game." But Tokarski and the Canadiens earned that second standings point by the slimmest of margins. After a scoreless third period and overtime, Palmieri thought he had scored for Anaheim in the fifth round. The officials called it a goal on the ice, but reversed the ruling on video review. Tokarski also thought Palmieri had scored, but was grateful to see the replay. "You get some breaks once in a while, I guess," he said. Montreal got a surprising effort from fill-in starter Tokarski, who made several sharp saves while earning his second career victory in his eighth NHL appearance. Tokarski was recalled after the Olympic break to back up Peter Budaj while injured gold medallist Carey Price is out. "I dont know them very much, but theyre a heck of a team that has some All-Star players," Tokarski said of the Ducks. "I just knew I had to take it as any other game and use what I got to get here." The AHL veteran also shook off a regrettable goal when Beauchemins dump-in pass took a weird bounce and went into his open net while he waited behind it for the puck. "I made an error," Tokarski said. "I should have stayed in my net. The scouting report was that there was bad glass here, so it was a lapse of judgment there. But the guys battled and got the tying goal before the period was over." Tim&nbbsp;Jackman, Francois Beauchemin and Daniel Winnik scored early goals for Anaheim, which had won three straight.dddddddddddd Jonas Hiller made 27 saves in the first loss since the Olympic break for the Ducks, who lamented a slow start. "The first 10 minutes, everybody was still thinking about every trade that went on today," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. "They werent preparing the proper way ... and we had to battle to get even." Both playoff-bound teams late-season acquisitions hadnt yet joined them at Honda Center. The Ducks made no major moves on the trade deadline, but acquired injured defenceman Stephane Robidas one day earlier. Montreal made one of the deadlines biggest acquisitions by snagging Vanek, the Austrian goal-scorer. Vanek will become the Canadiens top scorer when he suits up, likely for Thursdays game in Phoenix. Montreal went up 2-0 in the first period when Pacioretty then converted a cross-ice pass from David Desharnais, but the Ducks rallied in the second period with two goals 1:59 apart. Jackman scored on a smart tip of Sbisas long shot, and Beauchemin tied it with that fluke power-play goal into Tokarskis vacated net. "It was about time it happened to somebody else," Hiller said with a laugh. "I always get those bounces. ... We should definitely improve the power play if thats the only way we can score goals." Anaheim went ahead on Winniks midair swat of Matt Beleskeys shot for just his third goal of a hardworking season, but Gallagher evened it when the Ducks couldnt clear a loose puck in front of Hiller. Late in the first period, the Honda Center paid tribute to Montreal forward George Parros with a video tribute and a standing ovation for the longtime Anaheim enforcer. The mustachioed brawler with an economics degree from Princeton and a clothing company in nearby Costa Mesa played six seasons for the Ducks before leaving as a free agent in 2012. Parros, still the Anaheim franchise leader with 812 penalty minutes, acknowledged the cheers by waving and pounding his chest above his heart. NOTES: Anaheim hadnt been in a shootout since Dec. 6 or played an overtime game since Jan. 5. ... Teemu Selanne was a last-minute scratch with the flu for Anaheim. With Dustin Penner (trade) and Mathieu Perreault (upper-body injury) also out, defenceman Luca Sbisa played nine shifts at left wing. ... Montreal acquired G Devan Dubnyk earlier Wednesday.
