Daniel Sedin scored a power-play goal 1:09 into overtime for the Vancouver Canucks, who recovered from squandering a two-goal lead in the third period and beat the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Thursday night.
St. Louis rallied with two goals in the final seven minutes to tie it, but Eric Brewer received a four-minute penalty for pounding on Canucks agitator Matt Cooke with 50 seconds left in regulation. After Sami Salo hit the post 25 seconds into the extra period, Sedin tapped in a cross-crease pass from twin brother Henrik.
Henrik Sedin opened the scoring, and Trevor Linden scored his first goal in 10 games midway through the third as the Canucks avoided their first three-game losing streak since before Christmas. Vancouver stayed one point ahead of Minnesota atop the Northwest Division.
Roberto Luongo made 20 saves to become the second NHL player this season -- and 20th ever -- to win 40 games.
The Note end their western Canadian roadtrip Saturday night when they take on the Edmonton Oilers. The game starts at 7:05 PM CT.
