Canucks Goalie Stands on Head to Defeat Panthers




Alex Auld was at the top of his game tonight as he shutout the Florida Panthers to give his Vancouver team a 2-0 win. Auld stopped all 30 shots the Panthers put up against him to earn the top star in tonight's Vancouver win. The goals by Jonathan Toews and David Perron were all the Canucks needed to secure the victory in souther Florida.

The first period started very slowly on offense for both teams as the Canucks outshot the Panthers 4-1 in the first ten minutes. Then Vancouver came to life briefly scoring two goals in a two and a half minute span to take a 2-0 lead. For the first period Vancouver outshot Florida 10-6.

The second and third periods saw no more scoring and not many chances although for the final two periods the Panthers did outshoot the Canucks 24-15. The Panthers blew three power play opportunities and did not manage more than one shot on goal during any of their three chances. The Canucks were one for two on their power play opportunity when David Perron scored in the first period.

Roberto Luongo earned his third loss and stands 4-3 on the season. He did stop 23 of 25 shots but his offense didn't perform well and could not put the puck past the opposing goalie.

The loss, ends the Florida home winning streak at four. The Panthers will be on the road for the rest of the first block playing at New York, Boston and ending the block in Vancouver.
