Canucks Come To Town And Blank Flyers 4-0
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Henrik Sedin had a goal and an assist, and Ryan Miller made 29 saves to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.
Nick Bonino, Radim Vrbata and Jannik Hansen also scored for Vancouver, which snapped a three-game losing streak and broke out of a scoring slump. The Canucks tallied just two goals during their skid.
It was Miller's fourth shutout this season and 33rd of his NHL career. He returned to the net after missing two games due to illness. Miller improved to 5-2-1 with a 1.63 goals-against average in his last eight games.
Philadelphia dropped its second straight and fell further out of playoff contention. The Flyers entered Thursday 11 points out of a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
