DALLAS — The Vancouver Canucks just snapped a nice little streak the Montreal Canadiens had going and now hope to do the same against the Dallas Stars.
The Stars have won seven straight games against the Canucks and have outscored Vancouver 29-10 in the process.
The Canucks know they will need some Big D — as in defence — in Dallas tonight (5:30 p.m. Pacific time, on Sportsnet Vancouver, TSN 1040) if they are to beat the Stars. Dallas is currently second in the NHL in offence, averaging 3.44 goals per game. The Canucks sit 22nd at 2.
