Canucks rally in 3rd period, beat Avalanche 5-2

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) The Vancouver Canucks showed some rust early, then their rest paid off in the third period.

Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff's second goal pulled Vancouver even 5:12 into the third period, and Henrik Sedin netted the go-ahead tally less than four minutes later as the Canucks rallied late to beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Friday night.

Off since an 8-2 romp at Colorado six days earlier, Vancouver trailed 2-0 early after David Jones and Matt Duchene scored power-play goals. But Colorado had played twice since that last meeting, and wrapped up a trip in which the Avalanche played three-games in four nights. The Canucks took advantage in the third. (MORE)
