03/20/2009 - Vancouver, BC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Henrik Sedin registered a goal and an assist, and Roberto Luongo stopped all 30 shots he faced to earn his 44th career shutout as the Vancouver Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues, 3-0, at GM Place.
Alex Burrows and Mason Raymond also tallied for the Canucks, who added to their franchise-record with their 11th straight home victory. They set the club record with 10 wins in a row when they defeated Dallas 4-2 on Tuesday. Vancouver has won four straight and eight of 10 overall.
The Canucks have not lost in Vancouver since an overtime defeat to Minnesota on January 31.
Luongo, who entered the game 11-2-1 with a 2.04 goals against average in his previous 14 starts, recorded his sixth whitewash of the season.
Chris Mason stopped 18-of-21 shots in taking the loss for St. Louis, which dropped a 2-1 shootout decision to Edmonton on Tuesday.
In the early stages of the third stanza and the Canucks clinging to a 1-0 lead, both squads had several quality chances, but neither was able to light the lamp.
However, after a pair of coincidental roughing minors and the teams skating at 4-on-4, the Canucks got an insurance marker. Ryan Kesler carried the puck down the right wing boards, fought through a check from a Blues defender and spotted Raymond for an easy tap-in to put Vancouver up by a 2-0 margin at 8:33.
It quickly became a three-goal game when the hosts capitalized off a St. Louis turnover behind its net and Daniel Sedin fed his brother Henrik, who buried it from the middle slot less than two minutes later.
After a scoreless first period, Vancouver got on the board with 5:06 left in the second. The Canucks gathered the puck off a right circle faceoff in their own zone and Henrik Sedin was able to thread a pass to Burrows, who fired a wrister past Mason to break the deadlock.
St. Louis outshot the Canucks 20-12 through two periods of play.
