 VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) - The Vancouver Canucks beat the Colorado Avalanche at their own game. Henrik Sedin scored the tiebreaking goal 1:31 into the third period, Brendan Morrison added his second of the game on a power play 2:20 later, and the normally stingy Canucks beat the Avalanche 5-4 on Sunday night.
"Colorado is a great offensive team and they like to run and gun and we got caught up in that a bit tonight," said Morrison, who also had an assist. "It wasn't a typical Canucks game. We were a little loose in our own zone, but give them credit, they create a lot of offense, and the key is we got the win."
Matt Cooke matched a career high with a goal and two assists, and Daniel Sedin also scored for the Canucks, who have won four straight games to move two points ahead of Calgary atop the Northwest Division.
