(Sports Network) - The Vancouver Canucks will attempt to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs for the 10th straight time when the teams clash tonight in Vancouver. The Northwest Division-leading Canucks have earned at least one point in 11 straight games and beat the Maple Leafs in Toronto when the clubs played on Dec. 17. Vancouver has posted an 8-0-3 record over its point streak and sits four points behind Detroit for the most in the league. The Canucks own a comfortable lead atop their division, 15 points up on the second-place Flames. Not that Vancouver hasnt need to work hard as of late. Wednesdays 3-1 win over the Avalanche was just the fourth time in the Canucks last 14 contests that the game did not go into overtime. David Booth scored in the first period before Colorado tied things up in the second. However, Jannik Hansen made sure 60 minutes would be enough as he scored the game-winner in the third and Alexandre Burrows reached the 20-goal mark for a fourth straight season with his empty-net tally. "It was nice to get this one in regulation because after the second period I was sure that it was going to overtime or a shootout," said Vancouver goaltender Roberto Luongo, who made 29 saves. "We know that come the playoffs these are the types of game that were going to be in." Toronto is hoping to win a second straight game this evening after snapping a four-game slide with a 4-3 overtime victory against Edmonton on Wednesday. Tim Connolly snapped a 17-game goal drought by scoring the game-winning goal 1:39 into overtime. Joffrey Lupul scored only 40 seconds into the game and Matthew Lombardi and Jake Gardiner also scored as the Maple Leafs bounced back from a 5-1 loss in Calgary the previous night that began a three-game swing through Western Canada. "[Tuesday] night was a tough one to swallow. It was an effort that should have been a lot better," said Torontos Cody Franson. "This was a big game for us, kind of a must-have two points with the way our last four had went. We battled hard and came out with the two points." The victory helped Toronto hold onto the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. The Maple Leafs, who had netted just five goals over their losing streak, come into this contest with a one-point edge over the ninth-place Capitals. Both Keith Ballard and Dale Weise are questionable tonight for the Canucks. Ballard has missed four straight with a sore neck/headaches, while Weise sat out the last time with facial lacerations.

Canada dropped a 24-21 decision to Zimbabwe before bouncing back with a 10-7 win over Spain.

Mike Glennon Authentic Jersey . "Its huge," Casey said of Torontos matchup with the fifth-place Hawks, who sit 1.5 games behind the Raptors for third place in the Eastern Conference. "Its not like in the past where games dont matter. In the past we were building, getting guys experience. Major Wright Jersey .C. -- Major League Soccers Vancouver Whitecaps and the City of New Westminster have signed a memorandum of understanding towards bringing a United Soccer Leagues Pro franchise to the British Columbia city.WINNIPEG - For centre Olli Jokinen, one loss does not a confidence-shaking setback make despite the Winnipeg Jets falling back into the Central Division cellar following a 4-3 loss to Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.Its not going to be our last game we lose, were not going to win every game, Jokinen said Wednesday, joining most of his teammates taking the day off to rest or work out in preparation to face the Vancouver Canucks on Friday.I think as a team were moving in the right direction and we just try to get our energy levels up and try to get a win Friday, he added.The Jets coaches and a handful of players were on the ice Wednesday but things will get more serious Thursday as the squad gears up for another important game against a Western Conference rival.Although theyve gone 4-5-1 in their last 10 games and lost 4-2 to Edmonton on Monday, the Canucks (27-18-9 before playing Chicago on Wednesday) are at least currently where the Jets want to be — holding down the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.The Jets stand 12th, eight points behind the Canucks before Wednesdays action. They have plenty of distance to cover and not much time to do it as they head into the Olympic break. After Fridays game they play four more road contests before the Olympics, then return Feb. 27 at the MTS Centre.But with the hiring of new coach Paul Maurice, the Jets have already done some surprising things in a relatively short period of time. They earned road wins over both the league-leading Anaheim Ducks and defending Stanley Cup-champion Chicago Blackhawks have won six-of-eight games with Maurice behind the bench.And neither Jokinen nor Maurice viewed Tuesdays loss as a step backwards from the kind of defensive zone game hes trying to teach.This defensive zone concept, its not like you write it on the board you get it and you go and theres your defence for the rest of your life, its a work in progress, Maurice said. There wasnt a letdown (Tuesday night).They werent running out of position, getting away from what they were trying to do to break a game open.Maaurice said players are starting to see things and there are fewer questions coming back.dddddddddddd Hes pleased with the compete level of one of the NHLs youngest teams.The biggest thing hes instilled in us is play for each other in every game, said centre Mark Scheifele.That approach seems to be working for the 20-year-old Scheifele, who had a goal and an assist against Nashville and is third in scoring among NHL rookies.Four Jets are heading to the Olympics: goalie Ondrej Pavelec and Michael Frolik for their native Czech Republic, Jokinen for Finland and Blake Wheeler, currently tied for Winnipegs scoring lead, for the U.S.The others will have a long layoff and while Maurice says hes had experience with Olympic breaks, with a young team like the Jets it might be different.The last time I went through an Olympic break that I remember, we ended up going to the final (2001-02 with Carolina) and came out fast and quick, Maurice said. We had a bunch of guys . . . that were older, fit men who used that break to rest but came back roaring.Maurice said veterans like former Carolina Hurricanes captain Rod BrindAmour and Martin Gelinas had the experience to know how to use the break.The concern is there will be a bunch of these guys that havent gone through an Olympic break, he said. Theres not much we can do in terms of structuring anything that is mandatory for our players.Maurice isnt worrying about the four Jets heading to Sochi, Russia.Theyre going to go and play at a really, really high level and theyre going to get better from it, he said. Id prefer to have more guys going than not.Meanwhile, Maurice said left-winger Evander Kanes hand was cleaned up by doctors after he was sidelined again by an infection that caused it to swell up.Everything finished the way we hoped, he said.Kane cut his hand in a fight with Tampa Bays Eric Brewer on Jan. 7 and initially missed four games. He returned Jan. 21 to register a goal and three assists in the next four games but isnt expected back until after the Olympic break. ' ' '
