SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- Winning on the road isn't easy in the NHL, and for the Vancouver Canucks, success away from the Pacific Northwest has been elusive lately.
Although there's a newfound optimism among the Canucks as they head into Sunday evening's meeting with the Minnesota Wild at the Xcel Energy Center, courtesy of some long-elusive luck they found in their last outing.
The Canucks are still well out of the playoff hunt, but are feeling better about themselves as they prep to hit the ice in Minnesota after snapping a five-game losing streak in their last outing.
