VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Canucks should need little motivation for their next game.
Coming off arguably their worst performance of the season, against an expansion team, no less, the Canucks (9-8-2) host the St. Louis Blues (14-5-1) -- one of the National Hockey League's top clubs -- on Saturday night.
"We know it might be the best team in the league coming in," said Vancouver captain Henrik Sedin. "It's going to be a great test for us. We show up for these challenges."
The Blues lead the Western Conference and were out of sorts recently because they had lost two games in a row.
