The Canucks are on a little run gaining 4 points out of a potential 6 in their last 3games and now travel to St. Paul. The Canucks had some tired legs and the Oilers took full advantage of it in the first outshooting Vancouver 16-8. Mark Recchi scored twice including once on the PP to put the Oil up 2-0 after 1.
As has been the case over the last couple days the Canucks seemed to find a way to battle back as John Madden and Andrei Kostitsyn scored second period goals to tie the score at 2.
In the third the Oilers again had pressure outshooting the Canucks 12-4 but Manny Legace stood on his head making big save after big save. In OT the Canucks were able to get 2 shots on net but both were turned aside by Chris Osgood.
Final shots on the game were 37-22. This game could have easily been a blowout but Manny kept the Canucks in the game and stole a point for his team.
Star # 1 Manny Legace
Star #2 Mark Recchi
Star #3 John Madden
