Sedin twins, Luongo spark Canucks to victory over Devils

Roberto Luongo, making a stick-save on the Devils' Matt Halischuk, stopped 27 shots to help Vancouver win for the fifth time in seven games

NEWARK (AP) - Henrik and Daniel Sedin (FSY) had a hand in three first-period goals, and Roberto Luongo (FSY) made 27 saves as the Vancouver Canucks beat the New Jersey Devils 5-2 on Wednesday night.

Niclas Bergfors and Travis Zajac (FSY) scored for the Devils, who had won three straight and six in a row at home.

After a tentative opening five minutes, the tempo turned fast and furious with the Canucks leading 3-2 after one period.

It was all Vancouver early, with the Sedin twins combining for four points as the Canucks jumped out to a 3-0 lead. It marked the 70th time both of the Sedins recorded multiple points in an NHL game.

Burrows got the Canucks rolling with his third goal in four games. Daniel Sedin flipped a shot on net that Burrows deflected. It hit Brodeur's glove before trickling in at 6:33.

Salo got the second Canucks goal with a slap shot from the right point at 10:03 as Mikael Samuelsson (FSY), right in front of the crease, screened Brodeur.

The Canucks caught the Devils in a line change, leaving Daniel Sedin wide open in the left circle to rip a shot past Brodeur at 12:32.

Then the momentum shifted in New Jersey's favor.

Bergfors put the Devils on the board, taking a drop pass from Andy Greene (FSY) to beat Luongo from the left circle at 16:05 with the teams skating 4-on-4.
