Last 10 matches: Vancouver 6-4-0; Calgary 3-5-2
Vancouver forward Ryan Johnson (foot) was out of the lineup Saturday. Defenseman Mathieu Schneider is out indefinitely for personal reasons. Forwards Pavol Demitra (shoulder), Alexandre Bolduc (shoulder) and Michael Grabner (ankle) are all on injured reserve.

Calgary defenseman Cory Sarich remains on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, while fellow blueliner Adam Pardy (sprained wrist) skated Saturday and could play on Sunday. Defenseman Aaron Johnson has the flu and did not come to the rink Saturday. Stopping the Sedins continues to be the No. 1 key to slowing the Canucks. Henrik has goals in consecutive games, five points in that span and 29 points in his last 18 games. Daniel has six points in the last two games.

Defenseman Mark Giordano scored the Flames’ only goal against the Blues. He has two goals and four points in his last five games.
Henrik Sedin’s empty-net goal Saturday was his 49th point of the season, pulling him into a tie with Marian Gaborik of the Rangers for second in the League in scoring.
Third of six meetings this season between the Northwest Division rivals. In a scheduling quirk, the first three are all at the Pengrowth Saddledome, while the last three will take place at GM Place. The Flames own a pair of 5-3 wins over the Canucks on home ice during a 16-day span in October. Miikka Kiprusoff has twice bested Roberto Luongo. Dion Phaneuf has a pair of goals for Calgary, while Mikael Samuelsson has two power-play scores for Vancouver. Goal’s highlights, results and more will be on site, as soon as posible.. stay with us.
