Vancouver, BC (Sports Network) - Roberto Luongo needed to make just 17 stops
to record his fifth shutout of the season and the Vancouver Canucks captured
their second consecutive Presidents' Trophy with a 3-0 win over the Edmonton
Oilers in the regular-season finale for both teams.
The Canucks needed just one point to clinch after the New York Rangers lost to
Washington on Saturday.
Henrik Sedin, Samuel Pahlsson and David Booth scored for Vancouver (51-22-9),
which finished the season on a roll, winning eight of their final nine games.
As the Western Conference's No. 1 seed, the Canucks will face either Los
Angeles or San Jose when the first round of the playoffs gets underway next
week.
Devan Dubnyk gave up all three tallies on 42 shots in defeat for the Oilers
(32-40-10), who closed the season on a three-game skid.
