үӯ ABOUT THE CANUCKS

The Canucks arrive in Winnipeg to complete a four-game road trip. They dropped the most recent game, 3-1 Thursday night to the surging Chicago Blackhawks, giving up the only two goals of the third period.

Since defeating the Jets in Vancouver on March 24, 5-2 after a couple of empty-net goals, the Canucks have dropped three of the last five (2-2-1).

Eddie Lack, 16-12-4, continues to man the crease for the Canucks since No. 1 goalie Ryan Miller went down more than a month ago. Miller is back practising with the team but is not yet ready for action.

In game situations, the Canucks have above-average statistics this season. They are 20-3-5 in one-goal decisions this season, and 29-1-3 when leading games after two periods. Against the Central Division this season, Vancouver is 10-9-1.

Vancouver’s road record this season is better than its record at Rogers Arena. The chart is 24-14-3 away from home and 21-15-2 at home. The team has just three games left on the season after today, all at home, against L.A., Arizona and Edmonton.
