 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - The Vancouver Canucks played a near-perfect game for 54 minutes against the Atlanta Thrashers, then held on for the final six.
Markus Naslund and Brendan Morrison scored 10 seconds apart in the second period, and Roberto Luongo made six of his 27 saves in the last five minutes to lift the Canucks to a 3-2 win over the Thrashers on Saturday night.
"I think we played a lot better than the result indicated," Luongo said. "They didn't have much throughout the whole game except a couple of power plays. We were really playing well, disciplined, within the system, and then a little penalty trouble and they got one."
