Blackhawks/Canucks preview November 22, 2005
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Behind Mark Bell, the Chicago Blackhawks appear to have found a winning formula.
The Blackhawks seek their first four-game winning streak in nearly three years when they continue a five-game road trip Tuesday against the Vancouver Canucks.
Bell has scored five goals during Chicago's surge and finished with three points in a 4-3 win at Edmonton on Saturday.
Martin Lapointe and rookie Rene Bourque also scored as the Blackhawks recorded their first three-game winning streak since February 3-14, 2004. They have not won four in a row sinceMarch 24-31, 2002.
However, the Canucks have won seven of the last nine meetings between the teams, including a 6-2 triumph here October 18 in which defenseman Mattias Ohlund scored a pair of goals andBrendan Morrison added a goal and two assists for Vancouver.
The Canucks finished a 2-1-0 road trip with Sunday's 3-1 win over Anaheim. Sami Salo scored twice and Dan Cloutier made 31 saves to improve to 3-1-0 this month.
