VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Christian Ehrhoff's second goal got Vancouver even in the third period, and Henrik Sedin then netted the go-ahead tally as the Canucks rallied to beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Friday night.
Steve Bernier added another goal — on a pretty slap pass from Ehrhoff — just as the first penalty in a brief 5 on 3 advantage ended with 8:21 left. Mikael Samuelsson scored on a skipping shot from the point less than 2 minutes later.
Roberto Luongo made 22 saves as the Canucks opened a five-game homestand the way they ended a five-game road trip six days earlier in Colorado, where they beat the Avalanche 8-2.
David Jones and rookie Matt Duchene scored power-play goals for Colorado in the game's first nine minutes.
