VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Henrik Sedin scored 1:40 into overtime after Bo Horvat tied it late in the third period, lifting the Vancouver Canucks over the St. Louis Blues 2-1 on Tuesday night.
Horvat scored with 2:55 left in regulation, setting up Vancouver to move to 3-0-0. Jacob Markstrom made 23 saves.
Vladimir Tarasenko scored in the second period for St. Louis, and Jake Allen had 24 stops.
The winner came after Markstrom made a nice glove save and played the puck to keep the action moving. Sedin worked a nice give-and-go with Daniel Sedin, then shot off the post and in for his first of the season.
PAC-12-SECOND HALF
Utah and Colorado could highlight the Pac-12’s 2nd half
Oregon’s precipitous slide and Washington’s rise highlighted the opening half of the Pac-12 season. Colorado and Utah could shape the finish.
The Ducks and the No. 5 Huskies had last week off but the last time they played it was against each other, and undefeated Washington romped 70-21 at Autzen Stadium. The victory ended Washington’s 12-game losing streak to rival Oregon.
The game illustrated the rise of the Huskies, off to their best start (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) since 1992, and the quick fall of the Ducks, who played for the national championship two seasons ago but have dropped four straight to sit at the bottom of the Pac-12 North (2-4, 0-3.).
With a nine-game winning streak dating back to last season, the Huskies host Oregon State on Saturday. The Ducks will visit Cal on Friday night.
