Canucks 3 – Sharks 2 (OT)

The Canucks finally beat the Sharks and at a crucial time as well. After losing 8 of the last 10 meetings with San José the Canuckleheads pulled a rabbit out of their hats in the form of their defensemen Mathias Ohlund who scored a goal and Brent Sopel (struggling defensively of late) who assisted on Ohlund’s marker and scored two goals of his own including the game winner in OT.

The team only has 18 more games to go before the playoffs and are within two points of Colorado who currently lead the division. Tomorrow night the Canucks battle the St Louis Blues in what promises to be a spirited affair. Watch for Bertuzzi and Pronger, the two big 44’s, to be in each other’s faces all night long.
