| (MySportsbook) - Colorado took another step towards their NHL-record ninth consecutive division title on Sunday with an overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks that moved the Avs just four points behind the Northwest-leading Vancouver Canucks. "Our goal is not to get close (to Vancouver). The goal is to catch them," said captain Joe Sakic. "We've still got a ways to go, but that's the goal: to win the division." Alex Tanguay scored with 1:22 left in overtime to lift Colorado to the exciting 3-2 win at the Un |

| Boston, MA (MySportsbook) - The Vancouver Canucks hope to build a new streak and draw closer to the top seed in the Western Conference tonight when they visit the Boston Bruins at FleetCenter. Vancouver had its franchise-record 14-game unbeaten run (10-0-4) halted last Thursday against San Jose and skated to a 1-1 tie in Montreal on Saturday. The Canucks, with 86 points and a game in hand, trail Dallas by three points atop the West, and the Stars will be without All-Star Bill Guerin for up to six weeks after |

Guerin, who is not expected to return to the team until early April, has 25 goals and 25 assists this season. The Stars are currently ahead of the Vancouver Canucks for the most points in the Western Conference. "It's something every team goes through," Stars head coach Dave Tippett said. "He's a big part of our team, but we have to overcome that and see where it goes. There's nothing we can do about it but ove |

The Stars, with 87 points, still sit atop the Western Conference standings, but have seen their lead shrink to just one point over the Vancouver Canucks. To make matters worse for the Stars they learned on Saturday that Bill Guerin will be lost at least a month with a deep thigh contusion. However, Brendan Morrow (chest) should make his return to the ice tonight. Dallas, which has 1-0-2 in its last |

Forward Todd Bertuzzi left the game with an eye injury, while defenseman Mattias Ohlund did not return after spraining his left knee. "The injuries are bigger [than losing the 14-game unbeaten streak]," said Vancouver captain Markus Naslund. "You want t |
