ONES TO WATCH:
CANUCKS
Not that Canucks’ fans needed another reason to keep their eyes on Roberto Luongo, but the stellar
netminder seemed to reach another gear when facing the Eastern Conference last season. Luongo
posted a perfect 8-0-0 versus teams from the East last season. Luongo has a career record of 2-5-3
versus the Flyers, with a 3.30 GAA and a .915 save percentage.
FLYERS
After finishing dead last in the NHL with a record of 22-48-12, the Phildelphia Flyers broke out
the cheque book and signed former Buffalo Sabres forward Daniel Briere to a massive eight-year deal
worth $52 million. In parts of four seasons with the Sabres, Briere put up 230 points (92-138-230)
in 225 games. He also set career highs in goals (32), assists (63), and points (95) in 2006-07. The
Gatineau, Quebec-native has five points (3-2-5) in 13 career games against the Canucks.

LAST TWO GAMES:
VANCOUVER 5 @ CALGARY 4 OT
Daniel Sedin's goal with five seconds left in overtime gave the Vancouver Canucks a 4-3 victory
Saturday night over the Calgary Flames
"It was a scramble," said Daniel about the game winner. "Markus worked hard to get it to Mattias.
The puck went off Kiprusoff to me. It was nice to get that one."

VANCOUVER 1 vs. SAN JOSE 3
Despite a raucous crowd and a solid finish to the night, Vancouver fell 3-1 to the Sharks putting
an end to the longest active winning streak in season openers in the NHL at four games. The Sharks
enjoyed four first-period power plays and ran up three goals on Roberto Luongo before Vancouver
steadied the ship."We had some breakdowns early, especially in the first period," said Markus
Naslund. "We can't give up against a good team like this and it's tough to get back when you're
down three to nothing. It's a disappointing start, but good thing there's a game tomorrow."
